102-280 |
Sentence |
denotes |
As shown in Fig. 3(a), the temperature zone (5 °C–15 °C) and the center of the fitted normal distribution curve of the zonal mean daily cumulative COVID-19 cases were coincident. |
| T77 |
281-389 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The center of the zone denoting COVID-19 cases moved toward higher latitude along with the temperature zone. |
| T78 |
390-482 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Notably, there was a breakpoint on March 14, 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Europe. |
| T79 |
483-610 |
Sentence |
denotes |
As a result, the center of the zone denoting COVID-19 cases switched to 42.39°N and its standard deviation became much smaller. |
| T80 |
611-759 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Clearly, most of the cases (68.2%) of COVID-19 occurred at higher latitudes, spreading along a path where the temperature ranged from 5 °C to 15 °C. |
| T81 |
760-846 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This finding confirms that air temperature truly affects the distribution of COVID-19. |
| T82 |
847-946 |
Sentence |
denotes |

| T83 |
947-1151 |
Sentence |
denotes |

| T84 |
1152-1301 |
Sentence |
denotes |

Sentence |
denotes |
It is very important to pay more attention to places at higher latitudes. |
| T86 |
1376-1519 |
