In particular, we analyze the datasets of regional infected cases, derive the growth rates for regions characterized by a readable exponential growth phase in their evolution spread curve and plot them against the environmental temperatures averaged within the same regions, derive the relationship between temperature and growth rate, and evaluate its statistical confidence. The results clearly support the first reported statistically significant relationship of negative correlation between the average environmental temperature and exponential growth rates of the infected cases. First, we derive the exponential growth rates of the infected cases characterizing each examined region of US and Italy; then, we plot these values against the environmental temperatures of each region, and perform the corresponding statistical analysis.	./cache/cord-267644-guzn0peq.txt	./txt/cord-267644-guzn0peq.txt
