Interrelationship between daily COVID-19 cases and average temperature as well as relative humidity in Germany

Abstract COVID-19 pandemic continues to obstruct social lives and the world economy other than questioning the healthcare capacity of many countries. Weather components recently came to notice as the northern hemisphere was hit by escalated incidence in winter. This study investigated the associatio...
