A French health minister tried to tweet her way out of the embarrassing blog advice she gave which stated that homeless people should not go outdoors during the ice-cold snap in Europe, Reuters reported.

Nora Berra was ridiculed on the Internet for writing a blog post saying toddlers, old people, the sick and homeless were particularly vulnerable in times of extreme cold and should "avoid going outdoors."

She sought to limit the damage via a tweet that redirected readers to a refreshed blog note where the reference to homeless had been deleted.

據路透社報道，法國衛生部長早先在其博客中建議，歐洲極寒天氣來襲，無家可歸者應盡量避免外出。日前，她正極力扭轉尷尬局面。

諾拉·貝拉女士博客原文為：兒童、老人、久病及無家可歸者在極寒天氣下體質虛弱，應尤其注意避免外出。這一言論令人咋舌，引發網友一陣嘲諷。

現在，這篇博文已被刪除，她更新了博客，試圖轉移讀者注意力，挽回不利影響。
