Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 has infected more than 600 million people worldwide and caused more than 6 million deaths. The emerging novel variants have made the epidemic rebound in many places. Meteorological factors can affect the epidemic spread by changing virus activity, transmission dynamic parameters and host susceptibility. This paper systematically analyzed the currently available laboratory and epidemiological studies on the association between the meteorological factors and COVID-19 incidence, in order to provide scientific evidence for future epidemic control and prevention, as well as developing early warning system.

新型冠状病毒已在全球范围内感染超过6亿人,并造成超过600万人死亡,不断出现的新型变异株使得新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情态势在多地出现反弹。气象因素可通过改变病毒活性、传播动力学条件和宿主易感性等,影响疫情传播,本文通过系统梳理和分析气象因素对疫情影响的实验室和流行病学研究结果,分析了气象因素与疾病传播之间的关联,以期为未来疫情防控及开发早期预警系统提供科学参考。.
