Whether you choose to go out or to stay at home, not covering yourself well is never a good idea, if you want to stay safe from the cold.
Clothes made from wool, cotton, and fleece are the warmest. Hence, go for them.
Avoid leaving any body part exposed to the cold. Wear warm undergarments, woollen sweaters, jackets, hats, socks, scarves, and gloves.

In case it's so cold that you can't go to the gym, perform easy exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, climbing the stairs etc., inside your home.
#4 Eat healthy and warming foods
What's better than grabbing a hot cup of tea, and a book, when it's too cold outside?
Turns out that's exactly what you have to do to stay safe from the cold weather.
Eat comforting and hot food items to stay naturally warm, from inside out. Some of the best options are eggs, dry fruits, and sweet potatoes. Teas and soups are also great.
#5 Stay hydrated
Just because you don't frequently feel the urge to drink water during winters, doesn't mean you can skip it.
Staying hydrated is crucial for your health. Aim to drink 8-12 glasses of water throughout the day.

Your suggestions could be made applicable only to a small part of the populace. What about the working people, particularly those who earn their livelihood on daily basis and their wards wait for returning back of these people along with food stuffs being purchased out of the money they got at the end of their day's work? The kind of works these people do can't be done keeping their hands under blanket or any other warm clothes! more

There is no other option other than having protection against cold. Then go about your work. Hope social organizations provide warm clothing/blankets to those who are lower income strata. more
