dc.description.abstractThis study assesses a plausible correlation between a dust intrusion episode and a daily increase in COVID‑19 cases. A surge in COVID‑19 cases was observed a few days after a Middle East Dust (MED) event that peaked on 25ᵗʰ April 2020 in southwest Iran. To investigate potential causal factors for the spike in number of cases, cross‑correlations between daily combined aerosol optical depths (AODs) and confirmed cases were computed for Khuzestan, Iran.en
