BACKGROUND: Before effective vaccines become widely available, sufficient understanding of the impacts of climate, human movement and non-pharmaceutical interventions on the transmissibility of COVID-19 is needed but still lacking. METHODS: were evaluated with generalized estimation equation models. FINDINGS: by 39% (95% CI 31-47%). INTERPRETATION: Climate can affect the transmission of COVID-19 where effective interventions are implemented. Restrictions on intracity human movement may be needed in places where other nonpharmaceutical interventions are unable to mitigate local transmission. FUNDING: China Mega-Project on Infectious Disease Prevention; U.S. National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation.
