With predicted low temperatures and wind chills for Tuesday and Wednesday in the teens, Leana Wen, M.D., Health Commissioner for Baltimore City, is declaring a Code Blue for January 27 & 28.

“The cold temperatures combined with the snow this week pose potentially life-threatening conditions for Baltimoreans,” Dr. Wen said. “We are particularly concerned about our most vulnerable residents, including the homeless, children, older adults, and people with chronic medical conditions.”
