Corona will spread more rapidly in monsoon? IIT's research is intimidating

New Delhi

Research on coronavirus infection and weather connections has revealed a new thing in research. According to the study of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, coronas can survive longer in the atmosphere as humidity increases. The study of the two professors suggests that in cities where cough or sneeze droplets took less time to dry up due to high temperatures and low humidity, the Covid-19 infection was less spread out.

Infection in monsoon season will increase manifold!

Rajneesh Bhardwaj and Amit Agarwal of IIT Bombay dried a droplet that might have been a sneeze from a corona virus patient and mapped it to the Daily Infections in six cities of the world. Bhardwaj said, "Humid conditions increase the chance of surviving the virus 5 times compared to dry environments." At the same time, Agarwal is afraid that the Monsoon will soon give in Mumbai. This makes the Humidity level here more than 80%. In such cases the cases of corona infections may increase.

Doctors' opinion contradicts study

According to Agarwal, "If there is a significant factor behind the Humidity Infection, then the situation in the cities of Mumbai and Kerala can get worse". But many doctors did not agree with IIT Professor's study. A Civic doctor said that the monsoon and high humidity levels can actually benefit Mumbai.

The fastest drying droplets in Singapore

This research is published in the peer-reviewed journal of the American Institute of Physics. According to research, it took the least time for the droplets to dry in Singapore and the most time in New York. New York is one of the most affected cities in the world by Corona. Droplets were quickly drying up in Sydney, Miami and Los Angeles and the infection spread less there. This research was done to find the answer to the question of how long the virus remains in the air after an infected human coughs or sneezes. We know that as the droplets dry up, the virus in them dies.

Difficult to predict on corona

A doctor in Maharashtra's Covid Task Force said that the monsoon could worsen the situation. He said, "We cannot predict the corona virus because it is new. It has 35 known mutations worldwide. More deadly A2a strains have been found in many parts of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. In July we have more ICUs. Will be needed. Stay home as much as possible. "
