Abstract

To describe and explore the relationship between weather and the unusual 2020 bronchiolitis season in Western Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Correlation of meteorological data and presentations of infants with bronchiolitis through the ED of Perth Children's Hospital.

The bronchiolitis outbreak showed no relationship to local weather patterns. State-mandated COVID-19 public health measures appear as the likely rationale.
