1. Introduction
Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19), is associated with the respiratory disorder in humans which has been declared as a global epidemic and pandemic in the first quarter of the year 2020 by the World Health Organization (https://www.who.int/ novel-coronavirus-2019). People with lowimmunity, old age, immunocompromised and medical problems specially related to lungs, diabetes, cardiac related problems are more prone to Covid 19 disease. The symptoms are cough, cold, breathing problem very similar to flu. Exact transmission route of COVID-19 is yet to be identified; it was transmitted mainly by respiratory droplets in humans (Ge et al., 2013; Huang et al., 2020). Climate conditions are classified as top predictors of coronavirus illnesses (Dalziel et al., 2018). Climate factors includes wind speed, humidity, temperature (Yuan et al., 2006; Bashir et al. 2020). Bull (1980) reported that pneumonia’s mortality rate is highly correlated with weather changes. Preventive measures are to protect oneself by washing hands frequently, avoiding touching the mouth, nose, and face, and by maintaining social distancing (1 meter or 3 feet) with other people. It is reported that there are two important stages of Covid 19; stage-II and stage-III. In stage-II, there is person-to-person transmission and in stage-III, there is a community transmission. The first case of Covid 19 was reported in India on 30 January 2020, originating from China. All most after two months this disease spread in almost all parts of India. Majority of countries of world have noticed a huge number of Covid 19 cases from December 2019 onwards. India is being looked upon by various nations now as a World Leader and even WHO acknowledged that world is looking towards Indian strategies to contain the outbreak of this epidemic (Sharma, 2020). India accounts for almost one-fifth of the world’s population and is second leading country in terms of population in the world. India contributes heavily to the world’s GDP and is amongst the most prominent developing country in the world with fairly strong economic growth percentages (Myers, 2020). India’s good closeness with majority of the nations in the world and its helpful nature makes it a perfectally for other countries. Therefore, the analysis of COVID-19 outbreak in Indian region is closely watched and monitored by the World and there is a need of comprehensive analytical studies based on different strategies taken by Indian administrators.
In this study, we aimed to ascertain the relation between maximum and minimum temperatures with COVID 19 disease rates over India.
