Will Warmer Weather Help Fight the Coronavirus?

There is evidence to suggest the coronavirus does particularly well in certain climates.

Some of the worst hit areas around the world -- from Wuhan, where the virus was first detected, to Iran, Italy and South Korea -- are on more or less the same latitude, with similar temperatures and relative humidity. Researchers at the University of Maryland (UM) have even used this data to attempt to map out other parts of the world that could be at risk of imminent outbreaks.

Though the research remains preliminary, data from the UM study suggests that certain climatic conditions, while not determining whether the virus can survive, may help accelerate its spread.

"In addition to having similar average temperature, humidity, and latitude profiles, (locations along latitude 30-50°N) also exhibit a commonality in that the timing of the outbreak coincides with a nadir in the yearly temperature cycle, and thus with relatively stable temperatures over a more than a one month period of time," the authors wrote.

Brittany Kmush, a public health expert at New York's Syracuse University, who was not involved in the UM study, said that "influenza and other coronaviruses that infect humans tend to follow a seasonality, with cases peaking in the winter months in the northern hemisphere. However, we don't know if this virus will follow a similar seasonality pattern."

Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko Tested Positive for Coronavirus

▲ Bond girl Olga Kurylenko - who starred opposite Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace (pictured) - has tested positive for coronavirus 

Former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko has tested positive for coronavirus, she revealed last night. 

The 40-year-old, who played Camille Montes in 2008's Quantum of Solace, said she was diagnosed after feeling 'ill for almost a week' with fever and fatigue. 

She is now facing days in isolation and posted a picture of her locked window on Instagram last night as she revealed she was 'locked up at home'.  

The Soviet-born actress added: 'Fever and fatigue are my main symptoms. Take care of yourself and do take this seriously!' 

Kurylenko's diagnosis comes days after Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson became the first major Hollywood celebrities to contract the virus.

The couple were taken to hospital in Australia where Hanks had been filming an Elvis Presley movie directed by Baz Luhrmann.
