The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS CoV 2). COVID-19 needs to be seen beyond just the number of cases or deaths, especially in the context of its impact on air pollution, decline in road traffic accidents, improvement in air and water quality, decline in respiratory infection, nosocomial infections and pediatric chest infections, though some negative effect can be seen on the physical activity and hospital related transmission of COVID-19 to healthcare workers. An invisible virus has shown that it is possible that tangible policies can make world a better place to live in.
