The relationship between covid-19 and solar radiation has been gathered slowly through the pandemic.

One of the first and perhaps most controversial findings was the protective effects of vitamin D, a vitamin synthesized by solar radiation.

Also, melatonin treatment has been used for a faster recovery rate as well as a supplement for some of the symptoms of long covid.

Solar radiation, along with temperature and feeding habits, is one of the environmental signals used to synchronize the circadian rhythm. Among other functions, the circadian rhythm also regulates the immune system.

If any of the signals are used to synchronize the circadian rhythm it will generate a slight immunodeficiency over a wide population. This will generate an opportunity for a pathogen to propagate.

Agreement between solar radiation and temperature can be evaluated at specific locations for large periods, showing a large disagreement during periods of large pandemic outbreaks such as the Russian and Spanish flu.

Similar anomalies can be found at present times in the case of the swine flu and COVID-19.

A lack of agreement between environmental variables could also drive the generation of new COVID-19 variants. Bursts in isolations are closely located near environmental disagreement at a specific geographic location.

Low levels of solar radiation could drive different pandemics by increasing the number of viruses due to low UV radiation and by impairing the ability to signal circadian events.
