Role of meteorological factors in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States

Role of meteorological factors in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States

The role of meteorological factors in SARS-COV-2 transmission is not well understood. Here, the authors use county-level data from the United States to the end of 2020 and find evidence of a moderate association between increased transmissibility and cold, dry weather and low ultraviolet radiation.
