“…The proposed methodology tends to reproduce Pani et al (2020) methodology to data obtained from the Lombardy region in Italy. However, differently, we add air pollution variables and take consideration on the latency period in response to those variables.…”

“…More information about data and data reliability can be found in Pani et al (2020). Besides those variables, following Pani et al (2020) methodology, we retrieved also the absolute humidity (AH, in g m -3 ) through Clausius-Clapeyron equation (Qi et al, 2020;Gupta et al, 2020;Pani et al, 2020) where RH represents the relative humidity and T the temperature. Following Ou-Yang et al 2014and Pani et al (2020), the water vapor (WV, in g kg -1 ) is estimated:…”

On this topic, Pani et al (2020) results found that water vapor temperature, dew point, absolute and relative humidity show positive signi cant correlation with SARS CoV-19 transmission in Singapore, one of the biggest densely-populated megacities in South-East Asia.…”

Abstract Italy was the first, among all the European countries, to be strongly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (Sars-CoV-2). The virus, proven to be very contagious, infected more than 9 million people worldwide (in June 2020). Nevertheless, it is not clear the role of air pollution and meteorological conditions on virus transmission. In this study, we quantitatively assessed how the meteorological and air quality parameters are correlated to the Covid-19 transmission in Lombardy (Northern Italy), the region epicenter of the virus outbreak. Our main findings highlight that temperature and humidity related variables are negatively correlated to the virus transmission, whereas air pollution (PM2.5) shows a positive correlation. In other words, Covid-19 pandemic transmission prefers dry and cool environmental conditions, as well as polluted air. For these reasons, the virus might easier spread in unfiltered air-conditioned environments. Those results will be supporting decision makers to contain new possible outbreaks.

“…Similarly, a study from Singapore revealed that temperature and dew point have a positive impact on the number of daily as well as the cumulative COVID-19 cases (Pani et al, 2020). In another study, Şahin (2020) analysed the impact of weather parameter on COVID-19 in Turkey.…”

Currently there is a huge debate on whether meteorological and air quality parameters are playing a crucial role in the transmission of COVID-19 across the globe. On this background, this study aims to evaluate the impact of air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, CO, NOx, SO2, AQI), and meteorological parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rainfall) on the spread, recoveries and mortality due to COVID-19 outbreak in Delhi. Spearman’s correlation method is employed on a secondary data collected from the Ministry of Environment, India and the COVID-19 data collected using daily government health bulletins for Delhi. Our result shows that the COVID-19 incidences are significantly positively correlated with temperature (r infections= 0.90, r recoveries= 0.84, r deaths= 0.83, p<0.05) and negatively correlated with humidity (r infections = -0.63, r recoveries = -0.58, r deaths = -0.56, p<0.05). This finding indicates that temperature and humidity play a significant role on the infections, recoveries and deaths due to the COVID-19. The study results may be useful for policymakers in managing the outbreak of COVID-19 in Delhi, India.

Objectives: This study aimed to find evidence on the effects of climatological parameters (temperature, rainfall, and humidity) on the cumulative cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia.Methods: The daily climatological data and confirmed COVID-19 cases were recorded from March 1 st to August 31 st , 2020. The correlation analysis was performed with Pearson's Correlation Coefficient by using a Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.Results: Indonesia has recorded more than 1,315 confirmed COVID-19 cases in almost all provinces during the dry season (March to August 2020).

Association of COVID-19 pandemic with meteorological parameters over Singapore

Abstract: COVID-19 is an emerging infectious disease and highly contagious in nature.• Temperature, dew point, and absolute humidity showed positive significant associations with SARS-CoV-2 transmission. • SARS-CoV-2 displayed negative associations with wind speed and ventilation coefficient.
