Covid-19 spread linked to variations in UV levels: Study
New York– Natural variations in ultraviolet radiation (UV) influence the spread of Covid-19, but the influence is modest compared to preventive measures such as physical distancing, mask-wearing, and quarantine, say researchers.
“Understanding the potential seasonality of Covid-19 transmission could help inform our response to the pandemic in the coming months,” said study author Jonathan Proctor from the Harvard University in the US.
These findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that the incidence of Covid-19 may have a seasonal pattern, spreading faster in the winter when it is darker than in the summer.

A new study has indicated that natural variations in ultraviolet radiation influence the spread of the novel coronavirus. The study adds that the effect is still “modest” compared to measures like social distancing and mask-wearing.
