The Role of Weather Conditions in COVID-19 Transmission: A Study of a Global Panel of 1236 Regions 2020-07-30 .txt text/plain 8091 526 51 Moreover, a large-scale satellite data was combined with these data with a regression analysis model to explore effects of temperature and relative humidity on COVID-19 spreading, as well as the possible transmission risk due to temperature change driven by seasonal cycles. By explicitly controlling for socialeconomics variables and government interventions, we found that every degree Celsius increase in daily average temperature of 6-day lag results in a 2.88% decrease in new daily cases fraction (supplementary Table S2 ) and a 0.1 percent point decrease in R0 (supplementary Table S3 ). There are a number of obvious confounding factors (e.g., active case fraction, economic development, population concentration 25 , age structure 26 , geographic conditions 27 , and government intervention 18 ) that affect the transmission of an epidemic, so they should be controlled in the regression analysis. ./cache/cord-253648-n13sgorb.txt ./txt/cord-253648-n13sgorb.txt
