Covid infection cases may increase in rain and cold weather, need to be more careful

Corona cases in India appear to be increasing. At present, there is no chance of getting relief for the coming 6 -8 months from this.

The cases of rainy corona will increase. Also, there is no hope of getting relief from it even in winter.

Corona cases will accelerate even in winter. Actually, it has been done jointly by researchers from IIT-Bhubaneswar and AIIMS.

Researchers report that cases of corona infection may increase when temperatures fall in the monsoon and cold.

The study, conducted by IIT-Bhubaneswar assistant professor of School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences, V Vinoj, has shown that cases of covid infection may increase in rain and cold weather.

Because this weather is favorable for viruses. The report titled ‘Dependence on the temperature and relative humidity of corona prevalence in India’ takes into account the number of cases of corona virus outbreaks and infections in 28 states between April and June.

Professor V Vinoj told that during research it was found that when the temperature increases, the spread of the virus declines. According to the study, there is a decrease of 0.99 percent in cases of corona infection when temperature rises by one degree Celsius. This increases the time for doubling of cases to 1.13 days.

The study also found that an increase in relative humidity reduces the growth rate of corona virus cases and increases the doubling time to 1.18 days.

Dr. Bijayini Behera of the Department of Microbiology of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, who was part of the research team, said that several studies have shown that the spread of infection is more when the temperature is reduced and the humidity is relatively low. Temperature and humidity have contributed to the spread of the epidemic.
