Duterte claims warm weather slows COVID spread

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte believes that as temperature rises, the survival ability of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) decreases.

The number of Covid-19 cases in the Philippines is lower compared to other countries because the virus has a “hard time” surviving in warmer temperatures, Duterte said in his televised public address late Monday.

“Now, come to think of it really, mababa ang [confirmed cases] natin,” according to him.

“They said that itong coronang putris na ‘to has a hard time surviving in a hot — high temperature. So pagka ganun, maybe that explains the reason why na hindi naman masyado marami,” he added.

As of May 4, the Philippines has recorded 9,485 cases, with 1,315 recoveries and 623 fatalities.
