Factors determining the diffusion of COVID-19 and suggested strategy to prevent future accelerated viral infectivity similar to COVID

(چکیده مقاله) :
Abstract :

This study has two goals. The first is to explain the geo-environmental determinants of the accelerated diffusion of COVID-
19 in Italy that is generating a high level of deaths. The second is to suggest a strategy to cope with future epidemic threats
having accelerated viral infectivity in society. Using data on N=55 Italian province capitals, and data of infected individuals at
as of April 7th, 2020, results reveal that the accelerate and vast diffusion of COVID-19 in North Italy has a high association
with air pollution of cities measured with days exceeding the limits set for PM10 (particulate matter 10 micrometers or less in
diameter) or ozone in previous years. In particular, hinterland cities with average higher number of days exceeding the limits
set for PM10 (and a low intensity of wind speed) have a very high number of infected people on 7th April, 2020 (arithmetic
mean about 2,200 infected, with average polluted days greater than 80), than coastal cities also having days of exceeding the
limits set for PM10 or ozone but with high intensity of wind speed (arithmetic mean about 944.70 infected individuals, with
about 60 average polluted days); moreover, cities having more than 100 days of air pollution (exceeding the limits set for
PM10), they have a very high average number of infected people (about 3,350 infected individuals, 7th April 2020), whereas
cities having less than 100 days of air pollution, they have a lower average number of infected individuals (about 1014). The
... findings here also suggest that to minimize the impact of future epidemics similar to
