It would be very atypical behavior of a virus if the summer doesn't significantly slow the spread of COVID-19.
Dry winter air allows viruses to spread. Fewer water molecules are in the air to interfere with their projection when sneezed or coughed. Also, your nasal passage is dry which makes it less effective at fighting off viruses. Where are you spending most of your time in the winter? in doors where little particles of virus' float around for hours from people coughing and sneezing.
People tend get little to no vitamin D during the winter which has been linked to the flu and a weakened immune system in general. When the weather warms and days are likely you should be getting a lot more vitamin D.
Being cold actually reduces your body's ability to fight infection.
If the coronavirus behaves like most other viruses then as the sun grows stronger by day then it likely will slow the spread. China, lol, claims to have used UV light to combat the Coronavirus. As we move closer to the summer the UV energy we received will increase substantially.
