¿Cuál es el peligro?
El Servicio Nacional de Meteorología (NWS, por sus siglas en inglés) emitió un Aviso de Calor para el Condado Harris a partir de las 12 p.m. a las 7 p.m. hoy. Se espera que las lecturas del índice de calor oscilen entre 105 y 110 grados. Es probable que las peligrosas condiciones de calor continúen durante el fin de semana. Todos deben tomar precauciones para evitar enfermedades por calor o agotamiento.
Qué necesita hacer:
¡MANTÉNGASE FRESCO!
- Mantenga la temperatura de su cuerpo fresca para evitar enfermedades relacionadas con el calor.
- Recuerde siempre VERIFICAR ANTES DE CERRAR SU VEHÍCULO que NO haya niños y mascotas dentro de su automóvil.
- Permanezca en un edificio o refugio con aire acondicionado tanto como sea posible.
- Evite la luz solar directa.
- Use ropa ligera y de colores claros.
- Cerciórese que las personas más vulnerables se encuentren bien y chéquelos dos veces al día.
- Meta a las mascotas al interior y proporcione mucha agua para que puedan beber.
¡MANTÉNGASE HIDRATADO!
- Debido a que su cuerpo pierde líquidos a través del sudor, puede deshidratarse en momentos de calor extremo.
- Beba más agua de lo normal.
- Evite el alcohol o líquidos que contengan altas cantidades de azúcar.
- Recuerde a los demás que beban suficiente agua, especialmente cuando se encuentren al aire libre.
El calor extremo durante un período prolongado puede ejercer presión sobre la red eléctrica. Para reducir la tensión en la red durante las horas pico de las 3 p.m. a las 7 p.m., se recomienda que configure su aire acondicionado a 78°F si es posible y evite el uso de electrodomésticos grandes.

The first light rail operator worked at a METRO facility two weeks prior to that employee’s last day, July 6, and had no contact with the public.The second light rail operator last worked June 30 and in the two weeks prior, operated the Red Line on these dates:
*The charts above reflect the days the operators were on duty two weeks prior to their last days on the job.The office assistant last worked June 30; the cleaner last worked June 26; the mechanic last worked June 26; one storeroom attendant last worked June 30; and the other storeroom attendant last worked June 27. None of these employees had contact with the public.Anyone who comes in contact with an individual who tests positive should monitor themselves for possible symptoms, contact your health care provider as soon as you develop any symptoms, and self-isolate to avoid possibly exposing others, including refraining from using public transportation.METRO is working with public health officials so they can identify and notify anyone who traveled the routes driven by the bus operators during those time frames as well as anyone else who may have been impacted by the latest positive cases.Since mid-March, METRO has sought to minimize the likelihood of COVID-19 transmission by operators or passengers by encouraging social distancing. On March 23, the agency temporarily suspended collecting fares to avoid unnecessary contacts. Shortly thereafter, orange mesh fencing was installed across the aisles of every local bus to assure appropriate distancing between operators and passengers.More safety upgrades are also being added to buses, trains and METROLift vehicles. Operators and riders will now have access to hand sanitizer while on board and protective shields around drivers’ seats will provide another layer of separation between operators and the public. Operators and riders are required to wear a face covering while on the system.We appreciate and greatly value our riders. We have taken many actions, including working with the community at large, to “flatten the curve” of COVID-19. To prevent or minimize its transmission on the transit system, METRO asks all riders to use the system only for essential trips at this time, practice social distancing when you do ride transit (i.e., stand or sit at least 6 feet apart, as recommended by the
