Abstract

Since the end of December 2019, COVID-19 has become a worldwide issue, and its transmission and adverse effect on health and socioeconomics has become a global agenda for researchers and policymakers. Concerning this, findings argue that there is a relationship between weather conditions and COVID-19 cases and deaths. However, empirical findings on the relationship and impact of weather conditions and COVID-19 cases and deaths have been given little attention regarding Visegrád (V4) countries. Therefore, this study examines the relationship and impact of climate indicators on new COVID-19 cases and deaths for V4 countries using trend, correlation, and regression analysis. The study found that the average temperature and dew point have a negative and significant correlation with new cases and deaths of COVID-19 in V4 countries. Besides, the rise of both average temperature and dew point has a negative and significant impact on COVID-19 new cases and deaths in V4 countries. However, average humidity has a positive and significant correlation with new cases and deaths of COVID-19 in V4 countries. Moreover, the rise in humidity levels lead to an increase in new cases and deaths of COVID-19 in V4 countries.

Visegrád国家中天气条件与COVID-19传播和死亡之间的关系

自2019年12月底以来，COVID-19已成为一个全球性问题，其传播及其对健康和社会经济的不利影响已成为研究人员和政策制定者的全球议程。关于这一点，研究结果认为，天气条件与COVID-19病例和死亡之间存在关系。然而，在Visegrád (V4)国家，关于天气条件与COVID-19病例和死亡之间的关系和影响的实证研究结果很少受到关注。因此，本研究使用趋势分析、相关性分析和回归分析来检验气候指标与V4国家新发COVID-19病例和死亡的关系和影响。研究发现，V4国家的平均气温和露点与新发病例和死亡人数呈显著负相关。此外，平均气温和露点的上升对V4国家的COVID-19新发病例和死亡人数产生了负面和重大影响。但在V4国家，平均湿度与新发病例和死亡人数呈显著正相关。此外，湿度水平的上升导致V4国家新发病例和死亡人数增加。
