Covid-19 is 'one wave', seasons don't seem to affect its spread: WHO

According to the WHO expert, the Covid-19 was a new respiratory virus which has been behaving differently and not necessarily changing with the seasons

The change of season or weather did not seem to be affecting the spread of Covid-19, and the pandemic could come as "one wave" instead of multiple waves like influenza, a World Health Organization (WHO) expert said on Tuesday.

"People are still thinking about seasons. What we all need to get our heads around is this is a new virus and... this one is behaving differently," said Dr Margaret Harris, a WHO communications officer, at a virtual briefing in Geneva, Xinhua reported.

She said the season and weather did not seem to be affecting the spread of Covid-19.
