The usual advice is being given: limit outdoor activity to the mornings and evenings instead of the heat of the day, take frequent breaks in shade or air conditioning and drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids.  Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles and check on the elderly.

The coronavirus is complicating things during the hot spell as well as areas commonly used to cool off, like shopping malls and many senior centers remain closed due to the pandemic.
