Background: Today, the world is facing COVID-19 mutant, which was declared as apandemic disease by the World Health Organization. COVID- 19 has spread rapidly to 203 countriesand up to 31st March 2020, 36405 people had lost their lives. We aimed to study the impact ofthree parameters, i.e., weather, life expectancy, and travel, either due to tourism or business purposeson the transmission of the COVID-19. Methods: The data of infected cases and deaths of different countries and territories related to the2019-nCoV are studied. These data are collected from the situation reports issued by WHO. Results: The Temperature-Time trajectory shows that the dissemination of coronavirus has a hightendency in cold climate countries. Most of the cases are observed in the temperature range of 40°Fto 60°F. Also, we analyzed the dependence of 2019-nCoV transmission and death cases on life expectancy.Most of the cases related to COVID-19 in the entire world were adult and old patients.The global connectivity between China as a “Manufacturing Hub” and other counties also plays avital role in the transmission of COVID-19. Conclusions: The spread pattern of COVID-19 cases is in good agreement with our study, but thisdoes not mean that it will not spread in warm areas. The precautionary measure provided by WHOand health departments of various countries should be followed to slow down the transmission rateof COVID-19.
