While the coronavirus has cunned through the winter tail and won steam in the spring of the US, a lot of peopleI hope the summer would bring a respite due partly to the heat. Since the cases have continued to climb up until June and July, the hope for temperature with effects on the dimmed virus. However, a recent study by King's College London (KCL) shows that the temperature could havesome Impact on the virus. The study revealed that "the temperature andmoisture in the environment Affect the severity of the symptoms of COVID-19. "According to the study, for each increase in the temperature of 1 ° C (1.8 ° F), the covid mortality rate fell by about 15%.

For this study, KCL says that researchers examined nearly 7,000 hospitalized patients in Coronavirus, Croatia, Spain, Italy, Finland, Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom and China. "Mapping this information against local temperature and the estimated domestic moisture revealed that serious CVIV-19 results (hospitalization, admission to the ICU or the need for ventilation) decreased in most European countries during the course of the pandemic, covering the winter transition at the beginning of the summer, "according to KCL.

Not only theseverity of symptoms Decreased - thus the mortality rate. The study revealed that, depending on the temperatures, deaths decreased in most European countries that experienced the coronavirus pandemic during multiple seasons. However, "the severity of the symptoms and mortality rate has remained constant in China during the first wave of the pandemic, which occurred only throughout the winter", according to KCL.

Although Covid-19 is not completely hindered by heat because it has spread in hot and wet countries of Eastern Asia: "It is remarkable that the gravity and mortality of The disease were lower than Europe and other more temperate climates, "KCL is noted.

This is not the first time we heard aboutEffect of heat on COVID-19. In May, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that "heat at 56 ° C [132.8 ° F]kills the SARS coronavirus Around 10000 units per 15 minutes. Although the SARS coronavirus is different from Covid-19, the two viruses behave in the same way, which led experts to believe that Covid-19 would be affected by the heat in the same way SARS.

The study conducted in KCL gives experts overview of how temperatures can affect CVIV-19.Gordan Lauac, Doctorate, leader of the study, said: "Our conclusions emphasize a seasonality role in the transmission and severity of COVID-19 and are also competing for increased moisture and hydration to combat the virus. "

Back in June,Stephanie Taylor, consultant on infection control at Harvard Medical School, told a fast business that keeps theMoisture levels in your home between 40 and 60% (the current recommendation of theEnvironmental Protection Agency) could helpFight the propagation of coronavirus. Increased humidity does not necessarily be killingCovid-19 in the airBut this can help keep the bay, according to Taylor's studies.

Temperature and humidity are just a piece of puzzle. The discovery and learning of the different aspects that affect the virus is essential to obtain a complete image of the disease. In KCL recording of the study, professorTIM SPECTOR, MD, said: "By understanding the many factors that contribute to the gravity and spread of the disease, we can implement effective measures to monitor it in the coming months." And for more information on coronavirus mortality,More than half of the states with rising Covid deaths have this in common.
