Exploring meteorological impacts based on K?ppen-Geiger climate classification after reviewing China?s response to COVID-19

Fangyuan Chen et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions and meteorological factors on the transmission of COVID-19. The findings suggest that climate classifications have a significant influence on the basic reproduction numbers of the virus, which is important for China's flexible control protocols.

Association between human coronaviruses' epidemic and environmental factors on a global scale

Xiangyu Yan et al.

Summary: The study found wide associations between HCoVs and environmental factors on a global scale, with some associations being nonlinear. COVID-19 shares many similarities in environmental factor associations with common HCoVs, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and paying attention to common HCoVs as well as the role of environmental factors in surveillance and early warning of HCoVs' epidemic.

Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 spreading under the influence of environmental factors and strategies to tackle the pandemic: A systematic review

Zunaira Asif et al.

Summary: This paper conducts a systematic review of the literature to analyze the transmission routes and environmental conditions of COVID-19. It also critically reviews state-of-the-art modeling tools and proposes a multidisciplinary approach to address the spread of COVID-19. The study finds that environmental factors such as meteorological variation, air quality, pollen abundance, and spatial-temporal variation play a significant role in the transmission of COVID-19, but their influence is still uncertain due to other non-pharmaceutical factors.

A cross-sectional analysis of meteorological factors and SARS-CoV-2 transmission in 409 cities across 26 countries

Francesco Sera et al.

Summary: The study analyzes data from the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and suggests that while temperature and humidity have a small impact on transmission, the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions outweigh them significantly.

Effects of climate variables on the transmission of COVID-19: a systematic review of 62 ecological studies

Hu-Li Zheng et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review on the relationship between COVID-19 transmission and meteorological factors, suggesting that higher temperatures may slow the progression of the epidemic. However, climate variables alone cannot fully explain the variability, so more focus should be placed on health policies.

Association between meteorological factors and daily new cases of COVID-19 in 188 countries: A time series analysis

Jie Yuan et al.

Summary: The study found an association between meteorological factors (such as mean temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and diurnal temperature range) and daily new cases of COVID-19, especially evident under lower temperature and humidity conditions. As winter approaches, the global risk of COVID-19 remains high, highlighting the need for active measures to control transmission.

Associations between meteorology and COVID-19 in early studies: Inconsistencies, uncertainties, and recommendations

Gaige Hunter Kerr et al.

Summary: Meteorological variables like temperature and humidity have been widely recognized to influence the seasonal transmission of respiratory viruses and influenza in temperate climates. However, studies on the sensitivity of COVID-19 to these factors lack consensus in their conclusions. Addressing methodological challenges and choosing appropriate scales of analysis will be crucial for future research in this area.
