Seasonal variations impact on SARS-CoV-2 incidence and mortality in southern and northern hemispheres: Two years pandemic period based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection is a highly challenging problem in the world. The impact of weather conditions on the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has been hypothesized, but the level of understanding remains lacking. This study investigates the impact of seasonal variations on SARS-CoV-2 incidence and mortality in the Southern and Northern hemispheres.

Methods

We enlisted all the countries from both hemispheres and then randomly selected 20 countries, 10 countries from each hemisphere. After that, we recorded the SARS-CoV-2 daily cases and deaths in these selected countries from the Worldometer for the period of two years from December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2021.

Results

During the study period, in 10 selected countries
