“…The changes in weather alone would not necessarily decrease numbers of confirmed cases during the whole epidemic, but warm and humid weather could make SARS-CoV-2 less transmissible and less stable, provoking a break in the chain of transmission, and hence diminishing the contagious force of the disease [5]. Ancient [1,4,5] studies, as well as characteristics of the covid-19 disease compared to past corona infections like the SARS one [3,[6][7][8], suggest that the spread of covid-19 could diminish in warm weather, particularly at the start of the epidemic, and may have a low temperature threshold under which it could spread fastest. These seasonal changes could occur in exactly the same way as for other pathogens, like the common cold or influenza [9][10][11][12].…”
