Is the epidemic in COVID-19 divided into winter and summer? Why?

Recently, due to the discovery of several new cases of COVID-19 infection in Guangdong Province, people's worries about the epidemic situation have resurfaced. In addition, many people are worried that the cold weather will make a comeback. So is there a seasonal outbreak in COVID-19? Will there be a difference between summer and winter epidemics?

People raise this concern mainly because autumn and winter are the seasons when people are most likely to catch a cold and have a fever, so it will be very difficult to control the epidemic. By then, the number of patients with common cold and fever will greatly increase, and it will be difficult to find out the COVID-19 patients mixed in. Not only that, large-scale patients will also cause people's panic. Faced with this concern, experts gave specific answers. The specific content is this: the epidemic situation has little to do with the season. No matter which season, if the prevention and control measures are not done well, a large-scale outbreak may occur. As long as the prevention and control measures can be pervasive, the possibility of a new outbreak will be very low. This reply gave the public a reassurance, and at the same time, the public also responded. Now the prevention and control measures cannot be relaxed at all! The sars virus in 2003 disappeared automatically in summer. Before that, people still had a glimmer of hope. Will COVID-19 disappear automatically in summer? According to the present situation, this hope is dashed. However, it is naive to pin the hope of controlling the epidemic on the season itself. To control the epidemic normally, the key lies in whether people regard anti-epidemic as a normal way of life, whether they always wear masks and wash their hands frequently. At present, the prevention and control of epidemic situation in China is the largest in the world. Once a small-scale epidemic situation occurs, it will be contained. This rapid response ability is also the key to ensure that the epidemic will not break out. As individuals, we should always be nervous and not relax.
