MODELING THE IMPACT OF METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS ON COVID-19 SPREAD AND TRANSMISSION IN EGYPT

Abstract

On March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic. Since this time, the spread and transmission of this virus is a very high and quick movement across the world. Weather conditions play an important role in the spread of different diseases especially the one related to viruses. This research is trying to develop a model to predict the transmission of COVID-19 with different weather conditions across Egypt. Many statistical calculations and datasets will be used to build and investigate that relation. In this regard, different meteorological parameters (wind speed and direction, relative humidity, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and dewpoint temperature) and the 2019 Novel Coronavirus outbreak data will be downloaded from NASA and WHO websites
