Abstract
As of February 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in more than 410 million confirmed cases and has caused more than 5.8 million deaths globally.1 Concerns have been raised about whether ambient air pollution could increase the risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 as well as the severity of disease after infection because air pollution has long been recognized as a potential contributor to respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza,2 severe acute respiratory syndrome,3 and dengue.4Keywords
