SPECIAL ISSUE: COVID-19: A HOLISTIC INSIGHT

ABSTRACT

Today, the entire world is witnessing the drastic effects of Covid-19, a pandemic disease caused due to novel strain of coronavirus. The disease has put the entire world on the halt. It has not only claimed lives of lakhs of people worldwide but also has negatively impacted the global economy. Each and every sector like agriculture, transportation, education, sports, entertainment, etc. have been affected severely due to this disease. Country wide lockdown has been imposed by the government to avoid the movement of the people. Various awareness campaigns encouraged ‘Stay home and Stay safe’. The environment is witnessing both positive and negative impacts. On one hand, lockdown has helped the nature to recover due to minimisation of the anthropogenic pollution while on other hand the amount of solid waste generation has increased. In order to control the spread of disease, the government has initiated various steps like social distancing, wearing masks, frequent washing of hands, avoid public gatherings, etc. People can overcome the disease spread only when every individual will give their best to keep self-safe.
