Correlational Analysis of Hot Weather and Number of Recovery of the Pandemic Coronavirus in The Philippines

The effects of air pollution, meteorological parameters, and climate change on COVID-19 comorbidity and health disparities: A systematic review

“…Climate change contributes to public health crises both individually and by synergizing with wildlife-human interface and land use [ 117 , 118 ]. Since respiratory syndrome viruses previously have demonstrated poor survival in hot, humid and warm climates, the WHO warned that the COVID pandemic could affect countries in the tropical belt that record scorching temperatures [ 119 ].…”

Climate change during the COVID-19 outbreak: scoping future perspectives

“…Based on previous studies, we found several factors that are understood as determinants of climate change, such as natural and anthropogenic factors, ocean submesoscales, radiative forces, and CO 2 emissions. Some of the studies have suggested that COVID-19 may have a seasonal influence; however, other studies have found that COVID-19 is not stopped through exposure to the sun or temperatures higher than 25° (Acosta et al 2020). Therefore, it is recommended that we take preventive measures such as quarantining (staying at home) and always washing our hands.…”

“…Whereas the influenza virus shows some alteration with seasons, it is unknown if COVID-19 has any seasonal influence (Bukhari et al 2020). According to the World Health Organization, the pandemic could even affect tropical countries that have scorching temperatures (Acosta et al 2020). Alternatively, several other theories have also been presented regarding the effects that will cause a change in the widespread COVID-19.…”

“…Therefore, the studies also verified that climate change or seasonality may not affect or correlate with the change in widespread COVID-19. Now, it is not considered that warm weather could cure or put an end to the spread of COVID-19 (Acosta et al 2020).…”
