Spring could bring more than sun to Spain's Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca as study indicates high temperatures significantly reduce spread of Covid-19

SPRING’S high temperatures and high humidity should reduce the spread of Covid-19, according to Spain’s met agency, AEMET, and the Carlos III Institute of Health.

Preliminary results from one study predicts that these two factors reduce the spread of the disease, after data seemingly shows the “incidence has been higher in Spain” during periods lower average temperatures.
The two research centres obtained the data by analysing the evolution of Covid-19 in the different autonomous communities during two weeks from March to April, with studies of the same nature internationally coming to the same conclusion.
“Therefore, the arrival of the spring season could effectively reduce the transmission of Covid-19”, concludes the Ministry of Ecological Transition.
On the flip side, the same study also warns that air pollution (and especially concentrations of toxic particles in the air) can aggravate the disease.
AEMET and ISCIII continue to work together to investigate the impact of these environmental factors on the spread of Covid-19, taking into account, hospital and ICU admissions and death rates.
It is hoped in this way, it will be possible to identify risk areas “in real time at a provincial level and to design diagnostic and prevention strategies for the management of appropriate action.”
