Researchers from the University of Texas of America found that the weather has no effect on the spread of the Corona virus, as changes in temperature and humidity are responsible for only three percent of the virus's transmission.

The British newspaper Daily Mail quoted researchers as saying that the behavioral shifts that occur during the seasons, such as travel and the time we spend away from home, are responsible for up to 60 percent of the spread of the disease, noting that warmer and cold temperatures have no effect and that the cause of transmission of the virus to This limit is due almost entirely to human behavior.

Dave Newogie, a professor at the Jackson School of Geosciences, said the impact of weather is low, and other causes such as mobility have a greater impact than weather.

The World Health Organization announced earlier that the virus can be transmitted in any type of weather and there is no reason to believe that cold weather may kill it.
