The Guangzhou team based their study on every novel coronavirus case confirmed around the world between January 20 and February 4, including in more than 400 Chinese cities and regions. These were then modeled against official meteorological data for January from across China and the capital cities of each country affected.
The analysis indicated that case numbers rose in line with average temperatures up to a peak of 8.72 degrees Celsius (47.7F) and then declined.
Not much of a study, tbh. You want accurate results do it in a controlled environment.

Expert Andy Pekosz, a microbiologist at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health who wasnt involved in the studies, told the paper its safest to assume the virus wont taper off in the summer.

We dont know with the COVID-19 virus how it will behave in the warmer weather, Pekosz said. Prepare for having to deal with this in the summer months and assume there will be no respite.
He's 100% right. Just because other strains of corona have tapered off doesn't mean this one will.
