Global geographical climate impacts on the spread and death of COVID-19 in Asia and America

Abstract

A viral infection which is named as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is triggered by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [1]. Presently, there are reportedly almost two million infections and more than 100,000 worldwide deaths from the disease caused by this virus [2]. The medical and research groups are working together to reduce the serious effects of the outbreak. With more than 327 000 cases registered, the United States of America reported the highest rise since the beginning of August 2020, in newly reported cases. Meanwhile, the progressive decline in the occurrence of cases and deaths in the area of South East Asia were reported [3].

Spatiotemporal analysis of COVID-19, air pollution, climate, and meteorological conditions in a metropolitan region of Iran

“…Méndez-Arriaga (2020) stated the association between COVID-19 transmission rate and regional climate; in a tropical climate, the spread of COVID-19 was low. However, Ibrahim et al (2021) reported the global geographic climate probably had the least impact on the transmission of COVID-19 in Asia and America. According to the results of GLM, semi-humid and Mediterranean climates compared with arid climate cause a reduction of 0.28% and 0.38% in COVID-19 incidence, respectively.…”

“…There was an increase in COVID-19 infection due to low levels in wind speed, solar radiation, and humidity in some areas (Ahmadi et al 2020). According to another research, the global geographic climate had influences on the transmission of COVID-19 and death in Asia and America (Ibrahim et al 2021). Numerous studies have reported the association between COVID-19 and climatic parameters.…”
