U međuvremenu, upozoravajući da će temperature ostati vrlo visoke još najmanje jedan dan, makedonska vlada preporučila je u četvrtak da se trudnice i zaposlenici stariji od 60 godina izuzmu od posla, te da se tokom najvrelijeg doba dana obustave građevinski radovi.
Meanwhile, warning that temperatures would remain very high for at least another day, the Macedonian government recommended on Thursday that pregnant women and employees older than 60 be exempt from work and that construction work be suspended during the hottest hours.
