\n \n \n \nMany people believe that warm weather protects us from respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19. The concept of \"catching a cold\" in summer is counter-intuitive. Yet what does the data say about the effect of the weather on the spread of the coronavirus?

\n \n \n \nThe UK regulator MHRA announced on 26 June that it would again permit recruitment to the COPCOV COVID-19 prevention clinical trial. The MHRA decision came 5 weeks after it reacted immediately to the now-discredited paper published in The Lancet suggesting harms with hydroxychloroquine, and paused recruitment of UK participants. But The Lancet paper was based on fabricated data and was swiftly retracted. After this interruption, recruitment around the globe to COPCOV can now resume.
