There is no evidence of a direct connection between climate change and the emergence or transmission of COVID-19 disease. As the disease is now well established in the human population, efforts should focus on reducing transmission and treating patients.
Climate change may indirectly affect the COVID-19 response, as it undermines environmental determinants of health, and places additional stress on health systems. More generally, most emerging infectious diseases, and almost all recent pandemics, originate in wildlife, and there is evidence that increasing human pressure on the natural environment may drive disease emergence.
Definitely yes. The reason is legionella. This is a bunch of protozoa and microorganisms. Water environment. The adaptive hypothesis of this pandemic has been published. Preprint Adaptation hypothesis of the manifestation of spring viral i...
There are many recent studies that study this subject , some of them mentioned there is affect and some of them concluded there is no affect.
In my opinion: Yes, with increasing temperature and humidity , COVID-19 cases will decrease.
Many physicians believe that virus will not be affected by temperature since body temperature will be maintained the same but this is not apply on transmission of the virus in the environment. So I believe we will see decreasing in new cases in next few weeks because of increasing temperature in many countries but this will not prevent us from doing preventive measurements e.g. social distancing and hand hygiene.
Some physicians said; virus affected by temperature and they depend on low cases in Africa where weather is hot there but this is also false. Low cases in Africa not because of weather, actually it is low because there is no good screening.

Setia Budhi I think you address a valid question. Now it can also be oserved that the Covid19 has taught us that we, the world, could do something measurable of importance for the Climate: during lockdown, public transport goes to almost zero, car traffic is very thin, pollution is divided by 100 maybe 1000?
Hence Covid19 helps us understand what can be done and what can be achieved to help save the planet
I think positive. Heat and humidity may affect this virus at least a little in a different way. On top of it, rains may have a synergic role. And all of those will be against its spread.
Please see a recent study done in Brazil:
Preprint Effects of temperature and humidity on the spread of COVID-1...
Several papers have been addressed these discussions about the influence of climate parameters in COVID-19 spread.
In this journal https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/science-of-the-total-environment it is possible to find some of them.

Is the COVID-19 mechanism change while its transport to different countries with a different environment?
Climate change could potentially have an impact towards how the virus spreads, temperature is a key factor when it comes to micro-organisms and with a change in climate i certainly believe there would be a change in the virulence of the virus as well.
The virus survival time reduces with higher temperature and humidity levels based on recent studies. Thus, the transmission of the virus will be affected. But this might not affect the consequences of the virus on the body once infected.
Yes it does in the following ways
1. The reduced ability of the virus to survive in the coming days due to hyperthermia
2. The ability of the virus to mutate positively or negatively skewed to prevalence among non-affected regions
3. The ability of the virus to adapt to climate change and even become more potent.
These are however suppositions that require evidence-based research to proof

To me i think yes base on the level of recovery especially in Africa that has high temperature
More than indirectly, it will affect COVID-19 response directly. Around the world climate change is increasing the number and intensity of climate hazards (e.g., tropical storms, wildfires, water stress). People in many areas will need to be evacuated and gathered in shelters, resources to attend disaster may need to be divided. In many low-income communities where water is already scarce, climate change is making it even more difficult to get clean water. According to UNICEF1, "40 per cent of the world’s population, or 3 billion people, do not have a handwashing facility with water and soap at home." And as we know, washing your hands is basic to prevent getting the virus. To end on a good note, scientists are already pointing this out for the many climate hazards that are coming to that governments and health agencies can prepare and adapt.
1 https://www.unicef.org/eap/press-releases/handwashing-soap-critical-fight-against-coronavirus-out-reach-billions-unicef
Many papers related to climate change has been published in well-reputed journals, which conclude that there is little impact of climate on virus including SARS-CoV-2.
Secondly, the recovery in various countries also suggests that there is an affect of temperature and humidity on COVID-19.
However, the trails and exact reasons are not fully understood in current situations.
The virus survival time reduces with higher temperature and humidity levels based on recent studies.
When researching the issue, one should pay attention not so much to the survival of the virus at a certain temperature, but rather to the causes of the manifestation of its pathogenic properties in the natural environment. This is the main thing. Preprint Adaptation hypothesis of the origin COVID-19: clarification ...

Considering that it is a novel. A lot of work is still going on . Initial data though suggests that in countries having climate with higher average higher temperature are having less cases of COVID 19
My piece of advice is as follows. We should not try and combine all issues enshrined in a bunch of contradicting opinions and ideologies which some may feel to attract utmost public attention to mix a cocktail in order to create a super-pandemic. It would only bolster the view that not only viruses may spread exponentially but also ignorance.

Hypothetical model of COVID-19: mechanism and treatment（Version3）
Author: Alex Lee
Summary
2019 Coronavirus Hypothesis Model, preliminary hypothesis model, no experiments have been conducted yet: 2019 Coronavirus originates from bats or other animals. In bats, this virus is a cooling factor. Due to the high temperature of bats, this cooling factor lowers the temperature of bats and belongs to normal life activity, it will not produce immune activation, and thus will not produce infections and diseases in the bat body. When this cooling factor enters the human body, especially when the temperature is low, the virus starts to start the function of the cooling factor in the human body, that is, to lower the human body temperature, the chill happens. The human immune system starts to start the immune function and gives a fever to fight the cooling. Due to the high reproductivity of the 2019 Coronavirus, its cooling function expands rapidly,leading to the rapid expansion of the human immune system and infections occurring rapidly. To put it simply, the temperature inside the body cools down quickly, the immune system fights back quickly, and finally the body collapses. In addition to those suspected of having a fever, people whose body temperature is lower than normal may also be infected with 2019 Coronavirus. Hypothesis of treatment method: It can be experimented to put the human body in a higher temperature environment, the heat is transmitted to the body, and the low temperature factor of the 2019 Coronavirus can be overcome.

For those who do not know what climate means:
Definition of climate: The characteristic weather of a REGION, particularly as regards temperatures and precipitation, averaged over some SIGNIFICANT INTERVAL OF TIME (source: Glossary of Geology).
It is long lasting global process spanning an interval far beyond the lifetime of human beings, whereas the spread of the virus has an exponential expansion rate changing our daily life within a few weeks or months.
Based upon that any correlation between the two ends up in a nonsense correlation
H.G.Dill
Yes. But, we can rather talk of weather and seasonality. Meanwhile, cold weather may affect human immunity and that may significantly impart fatality rate (even, morbidity could be adversely affected, likewise).
Dear Mr. Adedokun,
please read the definition given above by me very carefully.
Weather and seasons have nothing to do with climate. Climate is the average of all weather phenomena measured during a significant period of time and seasons are annual changes of the weather , in other words , they do not qualify for such considerations like those either.
It is the crux that too many people speak about climate but confound it for weather.
Sincerely yours
H.G.Dill
Still, I believe that the link between climate change and the emergence or transmission of COVID-19 disease is straightforward.
For the timebeing their is no scientific evidence to substantiate the impact of climate change on the pandemic
Climate has always been a factor in transmission or spread of diseases, which is why epidemiologists do not joke with it. I firmly believe that there is a certain skew in the spread of COVID-19 owing to climatic differences and will continue to be so.
Dear Dr. Harinath,
there is common consensus that differences exist between the various climate zones on the globe with regard to the spread of diseases (see, e.g., tropical diseases such as malaria) but the question is related to the so-called "climate change".
H.G.Dill
We are concerned about the climate change which could alter the relationship between our body's defenses and COVID-19, with modification such as adaptation of the virus to warmer environment. It is thought that higher temperatures, due to changing climate could kill these pathogens with which human body is fighting. WHO says that climate change could be affecting the world's response to the pandemic. However, in the long run, it could be likely that climate change will have the potential to kill more people than COVID-19 coronavirus.
Ya sure change of climate leads good or bad both more than 28 degree hot gives good and less than gives bad result. In this situation we have to boost our mind yourself only no body can you your thoughts are the major seeds of life. When you start positive thinking you will over come by this situation without any harm of this crucial time.
It is possible that the enormous pressure of humans on the environment of the planet can cause new diseases and epidemics, and I support that !!
Climate change is not a strong primary factor, prior is air pollution , education ...
people still spitting ground , and everybody living in garbage ; one of the most important human idiotizm is living without foresigth about micro plastic problem. All the dirt sticking to that volatile material as coughing and saliva sprey provides virus travel on the microplastic ) , and forest fires , Virus not completely direct related about climate change, . because so many idiot putting broken glass or garbage ; fires starting by glass focus under sun , and decayed flying microplastics are increasing heat capacity and combustibility of the air , and little carbon particules helps to start fire.
we are not speking about war theatres around the world and designers of that acts also guilty , killing the mammalians in the ocean ; humans against humans actually sometimes observing everything best but results will decrease observation time (related with shortening lifetime ,idiots finally kills others or other idiots) , and watching to bad act is not a humanitic . World health organization must explain real factors to guilty people (we are ) ; spitting act and ignoring the facts should be forbidden, and after 10 year without car pollution , then we can understand to climatic effects.
As the virus in question is affecting primarily respiratory system, climate change certainly affect at least indirectly the spread of it. Reports are emerging telling the virulence of the virus being affected by altitude due to physiological adaptation on respiration related functions. We hope to read similar reports on climate change.
The influence of the climatic changes ( Meteorological conditions) on the epidemiology of COVID-19 is not yet clear. But it was known that the disease is transmitted through droplet infection and the virus may stay for few days on the surfaces of different kinds. So that the climatic changes may have direct effect n the disease epidemiology. High summer temperature (more than 40 degree) and high relative humidity in tropical countries will decrease the period of surviving of the virus in the environment and subsequently may decrease the infection rate and disease incidence.
Generally flue disease shrives in cooler environments because the viruses causing the flue are able to survive much longer in such environments. So temperature is an important factor in the potency of the flue virus in its transmission. Any change in temperature will affect the occurrence of the virus outside the host. COVID-19 falls in this category that when the virus is outside the host climate change as attributed to increase in temperature would affect its presence outside the host.
We have yet to witness any COVID 19 peak in hot areas of the Globe. Currently, in South Asia,reported cases are catching pace each day in spite of the temp around 35C and above.
The lockdown policy by the governments however has perhaps positively impacted the climate and improving the ambient air pollution levels.
From an economic perspective, COVID-19 perhaps has resulted in positive externality in relation to climate change. Government measures of complete lockdown has caused immense pressure on global supply capacity, movement of persons and reduction in emissions. As the world economy goes into recession due to COVID-19 and contraction of Aggregate Demand, the reduction in production capacity may have positive impact on the climate. These are evident as you may have read in news of low pollution levels in major economies of China and India due to this lockdown and the ozone layer recovering. In other words this so called health shock in the economic system due to the pandemic has resulted in a positive impact on the environment. The question is how could these be sustained in the long run when th economies come out of recession. There needs to be policies in place to address these. Ronald Ravinesh Kumar Peter Josef Stauvermann Mr Jadhav Chakradhar
This proves that economies depending upon industrialization were rarely green despite their ISO certifications. The conflict between industrialization and climate change . It is the high time that as the major industrialized countries slowly open the lockdowns , they open it with due respect to the environment.
For those who consider the present pandemic-induced lockdown setting as a role model for a "Green Deal" to save the globe (you only can keep the globe clean but not change the climate) I can only respond: "Welcome in the Paleolithic"
Some viruses may be affected by climate change, but there are no articles on COVID- 19
No Association of COVID-19 transmission with temperature or UV radiation .
Many works of literature said that temperature and humidity are the main key factors survival of the virus in the outdoor environment. According to the kinetic of sneezing droplet and nuclei, stability is changed, (There some literature available in RG also). Regarding such evidence that climate or weather change may affect the COVID-19 spreading.

Yes it have. But, it may be positive impact since many industries and transportation channels are mute.
There is no scientific evidence to believe that climate change made the emergence or transmission of COVID-19 more likely.The SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19 disease has been transmitted in all regions of the world, from cold and dry, to hot and humid climates.
Physical distancing and washing hands are essential to breaking the chain of transmission, and are the most effective way to protect yourself, in all locations and all seasons of the year.
People who work in the field of science and sustainability, civil society and policy makers cannot miss another opportunity to bring the consequences of our daily habits and decisions closer to citizens. How we move, how we work and how we feed deeply influences environmental problems of great significance, has serious socio-economic repercussions and a cross-cutting impact. Surely this crisis supposes our entry into a maturity as a society without too many close precedents in time. It is very likely, according to previous experiences not far in time, that the foreseeable economic crisis that awaits us after the exit of the water utility is fueled by investment in education and R + D + i. If as a society we do not prevent this from happening, the risk of limiting our ability to face the aforementioned environmental challenges (and others in other directly related fields, such as health) will grow exponentially.

Some viruses may be affected by climate change, but there are no articles on COVID- 19
Well, if we are affected by climate change; and if we are the main vehicle of the virus; it is normal for climate change, when it affects us, to also affect the virus and its spread; the big question is under what circumstances. We already know that there is a relationship between climate variability and social vulnerability. This virus has accentuated such vulnerabilities... But how does this expose us to the effects of extreme weather events? Great heat events; or very cold events will have different social impacts and therefore also on public health ... But it depends a lot on how the pandemic evolves from now on

I read this paper which is briefly answer this question
Article Climate change brings the specter of new infectious diseases
climate change may indirectly affect the COVID-19 response, as it undermines environmental determinants of health, and places additional stress on health systems. More generally, most emerging infectious diseases, and almost all recent pandemics, originate in wildlife, and there is evidence that increasing human pressure on the natural environment may drive disease emergence
Dear Setia Budhi ,
Virus can loss the spread either temperature is mild increased or immunity maintained well. Viruses directly exchange genetic information with living organisms.
This virus is originated from Bats. I think that climate change can disrupt human behavior, insect vectors and even bats and other deadly corona viruses likely originated. This is actually not clear from the scientists that the disruptions could or could not indirectly alter the interactions between diseases and human defenses yet to fully understand.So, If temperature increased it can disrupt both human and bats behavior.
If I go to understand physics, temperature affects the physiology of living things as well as the density and state of water. It exerts an important influence on living organisms because few can survive at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) due to metabolic constraints. Temperature can limit the distribution of living things. The dried virus on smooth surfaces retained its viability for maximum 3 days at temperatures of 22–25°C and conditionally when relative humidity is 40–50%, but virus viability can rapidly lost at higher temperatures and higher relative humidity (e.g., above 38°C, and relative humidity of >95%). Suppose at 10 degree centigrade, this is proposed that 1000 times more virus may existed. It can transmute below room temperature rapidly.
Generally, we can understand from the effect of temperature to the cell, the rate of cell progress, or mitotic rate, throughout the mitotic cycle increases linearly with increase in temperature between the ranges 3 °C to 25 °C. An example, I can say boiling water makes it safe from pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. If you understand the DNA synthesis, it is a maximum at 31 degrees C and shows delicate temperature sensitivity, whereas the RNA and protein syntheses are at a maximum at 34 degrees C or 37 degrees C and are temperature-dependent. So, cell, mitosis, DNA, RNA, living organisms all are temperature dependent.
Actually the link between respiratory illnesses, including influenza and COVID-19, and a warming planet is less clear so far. It is not discussed also. The immune system is our natural defense against harmful substances. The higher ambient temperatures expected with a changing climate could, however, favor pathogens that will be more difficult for people’s body to fight. That virus is thought to have jumped from bats to humans both warm-blooded hosts(human and bats) potentially via an intermediate animal.
Ashish
I would also suggest we discuss direction of causality, that is 'will might be the effect of COVID-19 on Climate change?'
Dear Domnic,
I believe science can only fight the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19. This is a just matter of time. In order to slow the spread of Covid-19, it will be crucial to understand exactly how the immune system tackles the disease. New virus-specific treatments, approach like use of monoclonal antibodies, molecules similar to those our immune system makes to fight infection, may be designed in the laboratory soon to target certain pieces of the virus. We must be hopeful and respect science.
What I understand the time has come to congregate all science, technology and engineering global expertises to work on one platform to understand the climate effects on living organisms this virus. Should be developed equipment in such a way which can read the pathogen activities and fight against the COVID-19 as well.
Ashish
Analyses on impact of climate have been focused on air temperature and humidity. Some, including our recent analysis, show significant negative correlation of air temperature/pre-period air temperature with the confirmed COVID-19 cases or the rate of the confirmed cases per unit population density in countries and regions, indicating a decrease in transmission potential of the virus with increase of air temperature. The possible impact of climate change on transmission of the COVID-19 has not yet been examined. If the above-mentioned correlation holds on longer time scales, however, the climate warming may not productive to the transmission of the Novel Coronavirus.

Dear colleagues
Thank you response.
The world is now waiting for when the scientific "war" against Covid-19 will end? While waiting, the world today is full of news, opinions and views beyond scientific arguments. For example, salt water can stop covid, rain will immediately end it, drink ginger, garlic and even increase prayer and rituals.
Tonight, behind the window, I looked at the supermoon (7/5/2020) and said, was the moon also attacked by covid-19? of course this question is non-scientific, but also I want to say what's wrong with planet Earth. Is this planet no longer safe for humans?
Why are scientists too late to anticipate the virus, where is the sophistication of scientists who accustomed to methodology, pre-conditions and knowledge of hypotheses. Why is one tiny spot in a laboratory in Wuhan city spreading throughout the world, where is the science of protection?
Is it a dark history of science ?
But I still believe that we are only waiting for time, the ability of science to find a cure by collaborating or not with non-science abilities. Believe that salt water can cure or the results of pharmacy laboratory research.

Hello Setia Budhi
Hopefully, climate change can affect the COVID-19 response. Some experts said that the high temperature can decrease the activity of the virus but can not kill it at all. I believe it is just a matter of time and science can defeat it soon by speeding the investigations of several vaccines and suitable drugs like similar epidemic diseases through history, e.g. SARS-CoV-2, Influenza, Malaria, etc.
By the way, I came across a very interesting research article on the effect of heat on the virus. Here is the link:

There is no evidence of a direct connection between climate change and the emergence or transmission of COVID-19 disease. As the disease is now well established in the human population, efforts should focus on reducing transmission and treating patients.
The temperature has started to raise in some part of country where we can see more cases are emerging on daily basis.
Yes, the climate changes influences the existence of the viruses, not only the COV19. The ancient viruses are "sleeping" from longtime in the ices, permafrost, etc. Now, when the temperature is more and more higher, the viruses come to live again (see the research station "Vostok, for example)... I follow some of the aspects, form longtime, in the area of North Polar Circle .
Do climate change may indirectly affect the covid 19 response?
Now we dint have answer,may be it is yes or no.We need to think logically in each issue and better to conduct and support research.
Dear Prof. Dan Constantinescu,
I am very honored by your response, that is what I first thought about a question whether the ancient virus of dinosaur era still "sleeping" in this hemisphere. Actually the same question is answered when frog eggs "sleep" in dry season and immediately live in rainy season.

Probably yes, but there is still too little data from research conducted on this issue to fully confirm this.

Climate change has no effect on COVID except at temperature where human being can not survive.
Long back in the month of February People/scientists predicting about the nature and climate in which the virus grows had contemplated that with the rise in temperature this virus will not survive. But today on 8th of May ,in India with temperature touching 40 degree ,the infected cases are doubling and the myth is rejected that it has a correlation with change in climate and temperature
Prof Harald G. Dill@ Let us wed your 'handsome' phrase "The wish seems to be the father to the thought" with the 'beautiful' quote "Necessity is the mother of invention".
Thank you and stay safe.
No scientific evidence of the effect of temperature on COVID-19 pandemic

It is true that epizootics have been the direct cause of the greatest pandemics of the late 20th century and the latter, however, they are not caused by fauna that have moved from their natural environment due to forced migration. The transfer of fauna from one place to another that produces these zoonoses is in most cases, if not in all cases, illegal. The illegal trade in species has grown and an animal moves without any sanitary control. The possible onset of this pandemic was due to the introduction without sanitary control of bats or pangolins to the Chinese market, which is totally out of the law. That is, climate change has less influence on pandemics than we think since we forget the illegal origin of fauna. Natural movement of fauna has always existed and legal trafficking of species with good sanitary controls as well, and with very few exceptions, have not been the cause of the great pandemics.
