Association between COVID-19 cases and the combined effect of specific humidity and air temperature
A density map was used to see the association between COVID-19 cases and the combined effect of specific humidity and air temperature. This was done by evaluating the daily COVID-19 reports by the combined mean specific humidity and mean air temperature. More COVID-19 cases were found in conditions with low specific humidity (2-6 g/kg) and low temperature (2-11 C). This association also holds true in different incubation times.
