Résumé
In December 2019, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was discovered in China, causing many cases and deaths. Several studies have explored the role of environmental factors in the spread of COVID-19, emphasizing the effect of two weather parameters, humidity and temperature. Those parameters are evidently vital in affecting outbreaks of infectious respiratory diseases, like influenza; yet, such an effect on COVID-19 remains controversial. This review explores the relation between the change in weather-related factors and the transmission of the COVID-19. With seasonal variation from winter to summer and in the absence of adopting thorough public health measures, elevated temperature and humidity might not limit the COVID-19 cases. Hence, we need multidisciplinary strategies and interventions to limit the burden of this pandemic over the healthcare systems.
