Researchers studied 100 different Chinese cities that had more than 40 cases of COVID-19 from Jan. 21 to 23.
A team of researchers unveiled the results of a new study last week that looked at how temperature and humidity may affect the transmission of COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus.
According to the researchers' findings, “High temperature and high relative humidity significantly reduce the transmission of COVID-19.” An increase of just one degree Celsius and 1% relative humidity increase substantially lower the virus’s transmission, according to the data analyzed by the researchers.
If true the virus should be taking a licking today in Tennessee.
