Brief Summary

Corona Virus - 19 Disease (COVID-19), caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), first appeared in Wuhan city of Hubei province of China and spread rapidly, causing a pandemic. In the period from the first emergence of the disease to the present, 336,790,193 people have been infected and 5,560,718 people have died. Considering the severity of the disease, some quarantine measures should be applied, as in many infectious diseases, among the first measures taken worldwide to prevent the spread of the virus.It has been suggested in a limited number of studies conducted in the last two years that climatic conditions may be among the main factors affecting the spread of SARS-CoV-2. However, there is no consensus on the effects of factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind on the spread of the disease, and there are conflicting results. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the rate of spread of COVID-19, the rate of intensive care hospitalization and fatality, and weather conditions.
