Dr Amoth responded to the user by explaining that experts are still learning more about the Covid-19 disease but the data collected so far had not indicated any correspondence of climate and rate of transmission.
"There is no sufficient evidence that cold seasons have any bearing on Coronavirus infections. However, during the cold seasons there are other diseases that may mimic Covid-19," he explained.
