Coronavirus shown to spread in high heat and humidity

The study published in the JAMA Network Open examines the possibility that the virus could have been spread by one infected person to 8 other people and showed no signs of weakening in warm and humid conditions. All nine people having used or worked at the same indoor public bath center.

...

The bath center had a swimming pool, showers, and sauna, with an area of about 300 square meters, 60% humidity, and a temperature between 25 °C and 41 °C. The index patient had visited Wuhan, and on his return showered at the bath center on January 18, 2020. The next day he developed a fever. He was confirmed to be COVID-19 positive on January 25, 2020.

The next seven patients had all used one of the facilities in the same center between January 19 and 24. All developed symptoms 6-9 days later. The last patient was working in the center and became symptomatic on January 30. All the patients were young, about 35 years old, on average.

Considering the way it is spreading in FL, South GA and LA, this doesn’t surprise me.
