1. Common public health actions to reduce heat-related illness and death may need to be modified in locations where they are restricted, unavailable or in contradiction to public health measures to limit the transmission of COVID-19. 2. Many vulnerable groups are susceptible to both COVID-19 and heat stress, including older people; those with pre-existing medical conditions; those with limited access to healthcare; and those living in crowded or poor quality housing conditions.
