Abstract

The paper attempted to test the results of previous Chinese studies, which recognized that the most appropriate average temperature for virus activity and transmission ranges between 13-24 °C, in reality through maps of the monthly temperature average during the period from Jan to March 2020 through case studies of Australia and Egypt because of  the availability of climatic data and numbers of confirmed cases. The study tried to predict the future of the virus spread during the upcoming seasons through cartographic methods. The study reached, through cartographic analysis, to confirm the inverse correlation relationship between temperature and increase in the number of confirmed cases in Australia during the month of March, and also the decrease in the number of cases in Egypt in the same month.
