Abstract

PURPOSE: In December 2019, a SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory failure syndrome Coronavirus-2) virus emerged from Wuhan, China causing SARS and other pulmonary infections (COVID-19) that rapidly spread to other parts of the world, causing a major pandemic. There is data suggesting that this virus will follow similar trends as the 2009 Influenza H1N1 and 2002 SARS-COV, due geographical and meteorological factors, being the most importants the temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. We aim to analyze the impact of geographical and meteorological factors in the incidence of COVID19.
METHODS: We analyzed the frequency of COVID19 cases along geographical and meteorological data from 84 regions around the world from January to March 2020, we divided the regions if they had less than 1, 000 cases vs more than 1, 000 cases of COVID-19. The meteorological data was collected …
