Climate Variability and the Incidence of COVID-19 in Jakarta

Since the first case was detected on March 3, 2020, incidence of COVID-19 has exponentially increased in Jakarta. Some theories claimed that virus activities were affected by climate variability. The aim this study is to search and predict correlation between daily incidences with variability A cross sectional made, sampling total cases Jakarta from 3 July 2020. Climate consisted mean temperature (MDT), humidity (MDH), rainfall (MDR), length solar radiation (LSR), wind velocity (MDW). registered data Department Health (DoH) Jakarta, while obtained Geophysical Meteorological Board (BMKG). This analyzed Pearson correlation, Poisson regression linear using SPSS version 23. standard deviations during four months 98.32 +/- 56, MDT 29.1 0.77, MDH 77.9 3.84, MDR 51.3 453.2, LSR 5.03 2.5, MDW 1.7 0.51. found as p=0.048, r=0.17;MDH p=0.015, r= -0.219, p=0.397, r=0.087, p=0.8, r=0.01, p=0.00, r=-0.3, respectively. However, model two (p=0.00, beta= -0.4, CI 95%= -79.4 -34.3) beta=0.3, 13.2 40.1). Regression for beta=-0.5, CI95%= -0.6 -0.5), beta=0.2, CI95%=0.17 0.27). parameters such positively correlated COVID-19, negatively associated COVID-19. only can
