Between April 2021 and April 2022 variables analyzed were: number of COVID-19 cases, temperature, and percentage of environmental humidity. The correlation of variables was analyzed by the coefficient of Spearman.ResultsThe temperature with the numbers of COVID-19 cases show inverse correlation values that ranged between -0.56 and -0.34. The humidity percentages show a slightly positive relationship only for Capital and Andalgalá, with values of 0.34 and 0.40 with the number of cases.ConclusionThe results showed a relationship between the number of positive cases of COVID-19 and the environmental parameters of temperature and humidity in five departments in the province of Catamarca.
