Abstract

The World Health Organization has declared the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Covid-19 as a pandemic as it has spread globally. Understanding severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) global dispersal pattern, it is important to know the environmental parameters within which the virus survives. There is adequate evidence in epidemiological and biological aspects to prove human beings are prone to viral pathogens such as Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza virus in cold weather. Apart from the influence of seasonality, other factors that might impact the rate of virus spread includes the effectiveness of infection control practices, individual behavior and immunity, and emergency preparedness levels of countries. This viewpoint highlights the potential influence of weather conditions, seasons, and non-climatological factors on the geographical spread of cases of COVID-19 across the globe.
