Now a second study by the same team confirms the risk.
The study is published today in Transboundary and Emerging Diseases.
The research led by Professor Michael Ward, an epidemiologist in the Sydney School of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney, and two researchers from our partner institution Fudan University School of Public Health in Shanghai, China, is the second peer-reviewed study of a relationship between weather conditions and COVID-19 in Australia.
“This second study adds to a growing body of evidence that humidity is a key factor in the spread of COVID-19,” Professor Ward said.
