Correct answer
Yes, so that the body does not lose temperature.
Yes. Maintaining body temperature helps prevent chilling: cover gently without covering the face, moving the person unnecessarily or contaminating wounds. Make the scene safe, call 112 and follow emergency-service instructions. Do not make the person walk or move them unless immediate safety or lifesaving care requires it. If normal breathing stops, tell 112 and follow their instructions; keeping the person warm does not replace urgent care.
