Abstract

Coronavirus spread through all the world in a short time. By November 2020, approximately 46,5 million people infected and more than 1,2 million people died because of this disease. The main objective of this paper is to answer the question that whether temperature has an effect on coronavirus or not. For that purpose, we divided countries into 2 groups according to the average temperatures to compare SARS-CoV-2 cases between the continents which have the average temperature greater than 30$^{\circ}$C and less than 30$^{\circ}$C.

SARS-CoV-2 virus does not divided into subgroups in this paper. Only positive cases considered as a database. Data from 1 September 2020-27 October 2020 were obtained from WHO database.
