The very old and the very young are particularly susceptible to drops in their core body temperature. To avoid hypothermia people need to remain warm indoors in the following ways:

Keep your home at a temperature of at least 18°C

Babies’ rooms should be kept between 16 and 20°C

Keep windows and internal doors shut

Wear warm clothes; the more layers the better

Use a room thermometer to monitor temperature
