?:abstract
  • In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, we aimed to systematically address the global seasonal patterns of human coronavirus (HCoV) infections We identified relevant articles from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL Plus as of May 11, 2020 The main outcomes were the peak months of HCoV infections each year, and the months during which more than 5% of positive respiratory specimen tests were attributable to HCoV Of 707 articles reviewed, 22 met the inclusion criteria The annual percentage of HCoV infections reached a peak in February globally We found a higher HCoV positivity rate among studies that tested only children (4-18%), compared to other studies of adults alone or the entire population (<1-7%) We found the largest global peak of HCoV during the winter season, with the highest rate of positivity among children
