On the basis of the assumption that different climatic conditions play a significant role in the course of COVID-19, it is essential to identify associations between environmental factors, such as average, maximum, and minimum temperatures; precipitation; and demographic density, and SARS-CoV-2 transmission and COVID-19 mortality in humans. Even with the complete specification that includes two binary variables capturing specific effects for the months of the year and controlling for population density, the results suggest that an increase in temperature is associated with a decrease in the number of infections. This study aimed to identify the associations between environmental variables and SARS-CoV-2 transmission/COVID-19 mortality. We examined the associations between climatic variables and SARS-CoV-2 transmission and COVID-19 mortality. ./cache/cord-263801-01goni72.txt ./txt/cord-263801-01goni72.txt
