Hospitals report increased number of patients with frostbite

Hospitals around the country report an increase in the number of patients with frostbite, not all of them homeless people. Doctors warn against spending long hours out in the freezing cold weather and trying to stay warm with the help of alcohol. The freezing cold weather, with temperatures dropping to minus 20 degrees C at nights, has put the homeless at great risk, with three people having frozen to death in the past week.
