Meteorological conditions are heterogeneous factors for COVID-19 risk in China

Shuang Xiao et al.

Summary: Meteorological factors have limited impact on COVID-19 transmission in China, but there are regional differences, with relative humidity showing a negative association with incidence in Central China. Older population may be more sensitive to weather conditions, but there is no apparent difference between sexes. Linear relationships exist between meteorological variables and COVID-19 incidence.

Temperature and population density influence SARS-CoV-2 transmission in the absence of nonpharmaceutical interventions

Thomas P. Smith et al.

Summary: Research has shown that factors such as temperature, humidity, ultraviolet radiation, and population density can impact the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. Policy interventions and reductions in mobility are major predictors of COVID-19 transmission rates, while summer weather cannot substitute for mitigation policies.
