"The data we have indicate that COVID-19 could be contracted regardless of how sunny or hot the weather is. The countries with hot climate report COVID-19 cases as well," she underscored.
According to Vujnovic, basic rules of hygiene must be observed regardless of the weather in a bid to prevent the infection, which include frequent and thorough washing of hands and not touching eyes, mouth and nose.
