本研究利用孟加拉国流行病学、疾病控制和研究所（IEDCR）提供的冠状病毒感染数据，调查了孟加拉国达卡COVID-19感染传播与气候指标之间的关系。进行了斯皮尔曼秩相关检验，以研究湿度、空气质量、最低温度、降水量、最高温度、平均温度和风速等七项气候指标与孟加拉国达卡COVID-19疫情的关联。研究发现，在7项指标中，只有2项指标（最低气温和平均气温）与新冠肺炎病例有显著关系。研究还发现，空气质量指数（AQI）与达卡市的COVID-19累计病例呈强负相关。本文的结果将为卫生监管机构和政策制定者提供有价值的信息，以减少COVID-19在达卡和世界其他国家的传播。
The present study investigated the relationship between the transmission of COVID-19 infections and climate indicators in Dhaka, Bangladesh, using coronavirus infections data available from the Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), Bangladesh. The Spearman rank correlation test was carried out to study the association of seven climate indicators, including humidity, air quality, minimum temperature, precipitation, maximum temperature, mean temperature, and wind speed with the COVID-19 outbreak in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study found that, among the seven indicators, only two indicators (minimum temperature and average temperature) had a significant relationship with new COVID-19 cases. The study also found that air quality index (AQI) had a strong negative correlation with cumulative cases of COVID-19 in Dhaka city. The results of this paper will give health regulators and policymakers valuable information to lessen the COVID-19 spread in Dhaka and other countries around the world.
