Experts say there is no established correlation between the variations in temperature and the spread of COVID-19 as it spreads through human contact.
AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria said research states that humidity in the air generally helps the virus to grow but rise in the temperature does not mean it will kill the virus and further added that tropical countries like Singapore which has hot and humid climate also face the threat of coronavirus.
Nutan Mundeja who is holding the additional charge of Director General of Health Services of the Delhi government said the relationship between the rise or fall in the temperature and spread of coronavirus is yet to be proved.
Dr. Kishore Singh (medical superintendent of LNJP Hospital) of the Delhi government says coronavirus does not grow in warm conditions but its lifespan increases in cold conditions.
