Influenza cases, for example, peak during the fall and winter, commonly known as the flu season. There are various reasons for this, including biological factors related to the virus, as well as social and environmental factors.The seasonality of the flu virus has raised hopes that the same may be true for the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and that cases of the virus may, therefore, decrease over the summer months.Indeed, laboratory data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 survives for a shorter period in higher temperatures.
