As the Temps rise, it’s a good reminder that if you are on medications, especially psych. meds as well. it is important to STAY HYDRATED! NJ still does not have a #CodeRed in place, but during the Covid_19 pandemic, 211 has resources that may help. First of all drink plenty of water. Secondly, If you feel you are having a physical emergency, Valley Hospital emphasizes that you should seek treatment and they assure you that they are taking every precaution so you , should not ignore emergency care if you need the ER!
