Ambient air pollution, meteorology, and COVID-19 infection in Korea

Tung Hoang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the association between Korean meteorological factors, air pollutants, and COVID-19 infection. It found significant associations between temperature, NO2, CO, and SO2 concentrations with daily COVID-19 confirmed cases in Korea, with increases in these factors corresponding to increases in COVID-19 cases.

The influence of temperature, humidity, and simulated sunlight on the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols

Paul Dabisch et al.

Summary: This study found that temperature, simulated sunlight, and humidity are significant factors influencing the persistence of infectious SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols, with sunlight and temperature having a greater impact than humidity. The time needed for a 90% decrease in infectious virus varied from minutes to hours depending on environmental conditions, suggesting that the virus could remain infectious for extended periods under certain conditions.

Global evidence for ultraviolet radiation decreasing COVID-19 growth rates

Tamma Carleton et al.

Summary: The study found that UV radiation has a significant effect on the daily growth rates of COVID-19 cases, while temperature and humidity do not show significant cumulative effects. Simulations illustrate how seasonal changes in UV have influenced regional patterns of COVID-19 growth rates, indicating that UV has a smaller effect on disease spread compared to social distancing policies.

The impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on SARS-CoV-2 transmission across 130 countries and territories

Yang Liu et al.

Summary: The study assessed the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in reducing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in 130 countries and territories. It found that school closure and internal movement restrictions had a strong association with reduced transmission, while the effectiveness of other NPIs varied depending on specific conditions.

Exploring surveillance data biases when estimating the reproduction number: with insights into subpopulation transmission of COVID-19 in England

Katharine Sherratt et al.

Summary: This study examined the sensitivity of R-t estimates to different data sources for COVID-19 in England and explored how this sensitivity could track epidemic dynamics in population subgroups. The findings showed variations in transmission potential estimates from different data sources, potentially linked to biased representations of subpopulations in each source. It was highlighted that policymakers could better target interventions by considering the source populations of R-t estimates.
