Possible Association between Space Weather Variables, and the World’s COVID-19 Cases

This study aims to investigate the influential role of space weather parameters on transmission COVID-19. Solar radio flux, interplanetary magnetic field, Dst index, sunspot number, and solar wind speed were utilized represent variables. The association considered variables number confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide along with five geographical categories, i.e. Asia, Europe, Africa, South, North America, investigated for a period ranging from 20 January 2020 5 August 2021 using Pearson linear tests as well non-parametric Spearman’s Kendall’s rank correlation tests. showed that chosen categories have significant strength, flux F10.7, number. When reported in Asia continent excluded, correlated significantly elsewhere world other categories. Kendall world’s had correlations speed, but not index.
