They also report that the 2002-3 SARS-CoV outbreak was linked to similar climate conditions. They found that for every 1℃ increase in the minimum temperature led to a decrease in the cumulative number of cases by 0.86.Ī modelling study suggested a transitory reduction in incidence may occur cautioning “The onset of spring and summer could, for example, give the impression that SARS-CoV-2 has been successfully contained, only for infections to increase again in 2020-2021 winter season”.Īnother modelling study found that the current spread suggests a preference for cool and dry conditions. Studies exploring the effect of weather, mainly temperature and humidity, on the transmission of 2019-nCoVĪ cross-sectional study correlated cases with mean temperature explored the effect of temperature on transmission in 429, mainly Chinese, cities. We conducted a rapid review of evidence to explore if climate conditions may influence the spread of (SARS-CoV-2. However, for the first time, China is also reporting no new local cases. As of March 21st 2020, China experienced 81,008 registered cases of novel coronavirus with 3,255 deaths. At the time when the first case was recognised, Wuhan was experiencing its winter season, where the average temperatures can range from 1 to 11 degrees Celsius. The virus is known to have originated in the port city of Wuhan, in the central Hubei province, China. Most countries across the globe have now implemented a suite of strategies to reduce transmission of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) and mitigate the effects of the COVID-19. The weather effect is minimal, and all estimates are subject to significant biases reinforcing the need for robust public health measures. This phenomenon may manifest itself through two mechanisms: the stability of the virus and the effect of the weather on the host. Translated in Portuguese by Tatiane Bomfim Ribeiro, Rachel Riera, Oxford-Brazil EBM AllianceĪlthough much of the data has not been peer-reviewed yet, emerging evidence appears to suggest that weather conditions may influence the transmission of the novel coronavirus ( SARS-CoV-2), with cold and dry conditions appearing to boost the spread.

If you are unsure about the lift, just ask the nearest Lift Operator to slow it down for you. When riding a lift always ensure the safety bar is lowered on your chair. Our lifts access certain terrain that suits different ability levels - to be sure you have the right lift pass to access the type of lift and terrain for your skiing/riding ability, please ask our Guest Services staff if you need assistance. If you are not sure please ask one of our Ski Patrollers who are stationed around the unload areas of our lifts. Please be respectful of all closures as these are in place for your safety. Trail ClosuresĪny terrain closures will be indicated on the day on signage around the ski area. Please refer to our Ski Touring page and the New Zealand Mountain Safety Council's Backcountry page to read about how to stay safe when touring.
