For example, the study by Merow and Urban shows that ultraviolet light is associated with a decreasing trend in COVID-19 case growth rates. 26 In contrast, other studies claim no association between COVID-19 transmissibility and temperature and ultraviolet light 27 or a positive association between temperature and daily confirmed cases. 28 29 Since the COVID-19 outbreak has lasted for less than a year, we do not have multiyear time-series data to estimate a stable serial cointegration between meteorological factors and certain indicators of COVID-19 transmissibility.
