Abstract
The world population is under the grip of global pandemic of COVID-19. The present study analyzed relationship between meteorological parameters and COVID-19 in three major cities of Pakistan, i.e., Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar.The impacts of Heat index (HI) and Ultraviolet index (UVI) over daily COVID-19 cases have examined to identify its transmission and propagation. The significance of basic reproductive number (R0), growth rate (Gr) and doubling time (Td) of COVID-19 with HI and UVI was determined.Both indices show a significant positive correlation (at 5% significance level) to R0, Td and Gr of COVID-19 patients. Our results showed that the minimum threshold temperature of 33°C for HI (with a positive variation of 3 to 5°C) put a significant impact on new cases.HI and UVI impacted significantly to decline COVID-19 cases over the region.
