Abstract

With the continuous spread and outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the whole year of 2020, the influence of seasonal changes, temperature and humidity changes on SARS-CoV-2 itself and its transmission has become an issue of great concern. Is the transmission of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affected by seasonal temperature changes? What is the influence of temperature and humidity on SARS-CoV-2 itself and its transmission? In this study, we attempt to explore the above problems by analyzing the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 activity and temperature, SARS-CoV-2 transmission and temperature and humidity, and SARS-CoV-2 transmission and seasons, so as to provide a theoretical basis for controlling the transmission and spread of SARS-CoV-2.
