A wind speed threshold for increased outdoor transmission of coronavirus: an ecological study

Abstract Background To examine whether outdoor transmission may contribute to the COVID-19 epidemic, we hypothesized that slower outdoor wind speed is associated with increased risk of transmission when individuals socialize outside. Methods Daily COVID-19 incidence reported in Suffolk County, NY, b...
