Covid-19 will become a respiratory disease that commonly spreads during wet and cold months, says a Chulalongkorn University virologist.
Dr Yong Poovorawan, chief of the university's Centre of Excellence in Clinical Virology, yesterday on Facebook said the disease will soon become a common seasonal respiratory illness such as seasonal influenza.
The spread of Covid-19 is more likely to occur during the rainy season from June to September, he said. The disease will also spread during the cooler season from December to March, but the transmission rate will be less severe, he said.
