ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A TALE OF WORLDWIDE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Abstract

Several external factors affect the onset and spreading of epidemics and even pandemics, which can result in environmental feedbacks. On March 13, 2020, the new coronavirus illness (COVID-19) was proclaimed an epidemic, and its quick start, wide geographic scope, and complicated effects make it a what if worldwide disaster. The majority of countries reacted by enacting social separation measures and drastically curtailing commercial and other operations. As a result, in the April 2020 end, the COVID-19 will have had a wide range of environmental consequences, both beneficial and bad, like improved air and water worth in metropolitan arenas and coastal contamination owing to the dumping of sanitary consumables. This paper provides an initial summary of the COVID-19's confirmed and prospective environmental effects. We contend that COVID-19's impacts are mostly controlled by anthropogenic variables that are becoming more apparent as human movement declines over the world, and that the repercussions on cities and global safety will persist in the near future. The COVID-19 crisis serves as a wake-up call for climate policy, international governance, and disaster preparedness. Generally. Indeed, this disease is a simulated climate variation experiment in which the clock is ticking. The scale of trials is shrunk from eras to days. Whereas the earlier is frequently expressed as a percentage, the latter is frequently expressed as a percentage. The former is measured in decades, centuries, and millennia, whereas the latter is evaluated in days, weeks, months, and years.
