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.

据路透社报道，法国卫生部长早先在其博客中建议，欧洲极寒天气来袭，无家可归者应尽量避免外出。日前，她正极力扭转尴尬局面。

诺拉·贝拉女士博客原文为：儿童、老人、久病及无家可归者在极寒天气下体质虚弱，应尤其注意避免外出。这一言论令人咋舌，引发网友一阵嘲讽。

现在，这篇博文已被删除，她更新了博客，试图转移读者注意力，挽回不利影响。
