How has novel corona virus pandemic affected the environment?


Novel coronavirus has everything severely affected everything from the economy to the environment. Everybody is suffering from what coronavirus has done everywhere in this world? We can not go out with friends, celebrate or go to work (which seemed like a boon at first now it’s a bane) anyway so coronavirus has affected everyone in different ways especially the economy, the government is compelled to lift the lockdown which continued for 2 months to get its economy back on track which according to the civilians is not a wise action since with the upliftment of the lockdown people are the increased risk of getting infected with coronavirus but it was an important decision that the government had to take for the betterment of the dropping economy, the only good that has come out of this pandemic is that our the environment has purified since there were no people out in the public to pollute it. And the shifts are not gradual they are dramatic and everyone is happy about them since what we did to the environment has finally recovering and we are paying for it. For instance the capital of India, New Delhi had pretty polluted air which people were breathing every day. Polluted enough to be injurious to your health but after the lockdown a dramatic change was noticed in the environment, people reported seeing blue skies in Delhi which previously they couldn’t see because of the pollution. If we pay attention to the numbers the average concentration of PM 2.5 has dived 71% within a week, falling from 91 micrograms per cubic meter to 26 micrograms per cubic meter. According to the world health organization, anything about 25 is not safe for humans
