Description
Summary:<p>The association between ambient temperature and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmissibility has important implications for containing the disease's spread, yet it is still highly debated. Using a dataset including 65 Chinese cities, Y<sc>ao</sc> <italic>et al</italic>. [1] found no significant association between COVID-19 transmissibility and temperature or ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Using a dataset including 154 Chinese cities, R<sc>an</sc> <italic>et al</italic>. [2] reran the analyses and found a nonlinear negative association between temperature and COVID-19 transmissibility.</p>
