COVID-19 Lockdown Concerned with Economy, Mental, and Environmental Health: Indian Scenario

Abstract

India is suffering from an outbreak of COVID-19. Lockdown rules were enacted, but they were also a significant threat to the economy, mental and environmental health. Continual depreciation is occurring in the Indian rupee. The tourism, aviation, oil, capital, and retail markets were seriously affected. Whereas, a unique opportunity has also been offered to India as multinational companies are losing trust with China. COVID-19 has also caused a severe threat to people's physical and mental health. World Health Organization also implemented compulsion of mask wearing and awareness in local communities. The efforts to combat Coronavirus output a tremendous amount of masks, gloves, and personal protective equipment kit waste. After the declaration of the lockdown, the quality of air and water has started to improve and wildlife has sprung back. But all these positive impacts were temporary. Implementation of proper strategies has the potential to deal with all three aspects.
