Scientists have reported that warm weather is unlikely to severely hamper the spread of the Corona virus, shattering the hopes of many, including Donald Trump, who suggested that summer could provide relief from the global epidemic.
Researchers in Canada examined the spread of “Covid-19” worldwide in late March at locations with different measurements of humidity, latitude, and general health, such as social distance.
Dr. Peter Johnny of the University of Toronto said in a press release that the team found little link between the spread of the infection and temperature or latitude, or just a weak correlation with humidity.
He added: We did a preliminary study that suggested that both latitude and temperature play a role. But when we repeated the study under stricter conditions, we got the opposite result.
Dr. Johny noted that, in contrast, school closings and other public health measures have been an effective deterrent to the coronavirus, adding: “Our findings are directly related because many countries, and some Canadian provinces and territories, are considering mitigate or eliminate some of these health interventions. ” The public “.
The study concluded that “seasonal variation is likely to play a minor role in the Covid 19 epidemic.”
“Summer will not make this go away. It is important for people to know this. On the other hand, the more public health interventions in the region, the greater the impact on slowing epidemic growth,” said Professor Dion Jysink, an epidemiologist. from the University of Toronto and co-author of the study. .
