TORONTO -- As Canadians hunker down for yet another weekend at home, many have begun holding onto hope that warmer weather will prevent the spread of COVID-19, much like seasonal influenza, spurring rumours that summer will bring respite from strict physical distancing measures.
While the peer-reviewed study suggests that temperatures may play a role in the virus’s effectiveness, it does not stop it the transmission altogether. CTVNews.ca spoke with three experts who all agreed that warmer weather will only play a small role in decreasing the spread of the virus. “It's been noted that the ESR drops in the summer and that makes it very difficult for the virus to sort of grab on in terms of getting into the blood.
But Bauch notes that pandemics don’t behave the same way as seasonal outbreaks -- and we still have lots to learn about this virus in particular.
They call grehta an expert too though...so
4UWell I’m gonna kill corona
What’s an expert
Why would it?
But warmer weather will bring a significant positive impact on an individuals mental well being.
No worries, next 2 weeks temperatures expected to be below normal. Enjoy. ottweather ottnews
It might slow the virus down but it won't slow the people down. Spring fever
Nope
We are all ignoring your BS.
It is not the warmer weather, it is the UV-C that kills the virus!
It will speed up the spread because dumb people will flock outside
“The reason why journalists use that style of headline is that they know the story is probably bullshit, and don’t actually have the sources and facts to back it up, but still want to run it”
Probably not people def won’t stay home and why is everything always about racism all human beings are dying let’s grow up and respect each other
It won’t because it will just mean more idiots flooding out into public and gathering in despite of the warnings. The false fact being given that warmer temperatures will have some magic ability to kill COVID 19 is wrong! The virus has still spread in warmer temp countries.
India been lockdown for 21 days with very warm weather.
I believe so, virus get weaker in the high temperature environment, so its spreading slow down as well
We should be okay by July then....maybe.

Ontario now recommends COVID-19 tests for all long-term care residents being transferred into homesNew guidance reverses a previous policy that said only patients with symptoms should be tested This is overdue but still not close to what is required. All long-term care residents & staff, symptomatic or not, need to be tested. Repeatedly. You can’t save those who you cannot identify. And new residents be put into quarantine (infection control protocols put in place) until results return. Didn't think they could admit to a home new residents if there was an outbreak and that should be followed to the letter.
