In this study, we explored how daily atmospheric temperature and humidity affect COVID-19 transmission in Lagos state, the epicenter of the disease. During the period of this study (9 th March to 12 th May 2020), Lagos state recorded a daily maximum incidence of 183 COVID-19 confirmed cases (Table 1; Figure 1 ). Table 2 shows the result of the correlation test between COVID-19 transmission and mortality in Lagos state and the meteorological factors, temperature and humidity. [18] found a negative correlation between average daily temperature and COVID-19 cases in mainland China similar to this study, but they observed a correlation between humidity and the disease as well.	./cache/cord-295569-5dakd9en.txt	./txt/cord-295569-5dakd9en.txt
