Highlights |
• | We quantified the COVID-19 transmissibility by the basic reproductive number. |
• | The COVID-19 transmissibility could be negatively associated with ambient ozone. |
• | The daily 1-h maximum ozone might cover 7.6% of the transmissibility variability. |
• | It echoes a previous study of negative effects of ozone on the flu transmission. |
• | The ground-level ozone may be a “double-edged sword” to public health. |
