A joint study of researchers from IIT Bhubaneswar and AIIMS has shown that corona infection in India will increase more rapidly during the monsoon and winter seasons.
In this study, it is said that the fall in temperature due to rain and cold weather in winter will be favorable for the spread of Covid 19. The study has been conducted under the leadership of Assistant Professor V Vinoj of the School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Science at IIT Bhubaneswar.
The title of the report of this study is "Covid-19 Spread in India and its dependence on Temperature and Relative Humidity". This study has also seen the pattern of outbreak of corona infection in 28 states. Vinoz has stated that the rise in temperature slows the rate of infection.
This study has not been published yet. According to the news agency PTI, the report of this study shows that temperature and related humidity is related to increased infection.
"If the temperature rises by one degree Celsius, it will help to reduce the incidence of infection by 0.99%," Vinoj told PTI.
