“…After facing the pandemic, many countries locked down their people and economies, which ultimately has many consequences for humanity to face in the near future (Garrett-Cox 2020 ). The economies are facing a major downfall worldwide (Usman et al 2020 ). Global environmental changes such as soil degradation, ozone layer depletion, pollution, and urbanization are changing the environment and are creating an indisputable threat to humans and the planet Earth (Chakraborty and Maity 2020 ).…”

“…The entire world desires by hook or by crook to be safe from the disastrous impacts of COVID-19 (Shen et al 2020 ). An increasing number of infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, SARS, MERS, and Ebola, have spread from wildlife to humans, and it has been evident that COVID-19 has been transmitted by the same route (Usman et al 2020 ). COVID-19, a single-stranded RNA virus, has a diameter ranging from 80 to 120 nm.…”

Neither war nor recession or any kind of prior disaster has been considered a prelude to the looming threat of climate change over the past era as coronavirus (hereafter COVID-19) has in only a few months. Although numerous studies have already been published on this topic, there has not been compelling evidence critically assessing the impact of COVID-19 by and on climate change. The present study fills this gap by taking a more holistic approach to elaborate factors, e.g., natural and anthropogenic factors, ocean submesoscales, radiative forces, and greenhouse gas/CO 2 emissions, that may affect climate change in a more prevalent and pronounced manner. Based on the statistical data collected from the NASA Earth Observatory, the European Space Agency, and the Global Carbon Project, the findings of this study reveal that the climate/environment has improved during COVID-19, including better environmental quality and water quality with low carbon emissions and sound pollution. In the lockdown during the epidemic, the emissions of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) significantly decreased because of the lower usage of transportation, decreased electricity demand, and halted industrial activities. The policy implications of this study suggested that keeping the climate healthy even in the post-COVID-19 era is a serious concern that needs to be addressed by investing in clean and green projects, ensuring green energy evolution, dealing with a large volume of medical waste, building health-ensuring and livable societies, and halting the funding of pollution. For governmental and regulatory bodies, these factors will provide a strong foundation to build safer, healthier, and environmentally friendly societies for generations to come.

“…COVID-19-the major health crisis that began in Wuhan (China) and was later declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO)-has transformed into one of the worst economic crises of all time. The impact of the crisis is visible everywhere in the world, from migrant labor problems in India [36] to an increase in the number of the newly unemployed in the United States [37], and to the shutting down of the industries in the Gulf Cooperation Council [38]. Unfortunately, no country in the world so far can be viewed as a role model for its economic response to the pandemic [39].…”

Novel Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, is a health emergency that is having an ever-growing impact on the global economy. COVID-19 has caused economic disruption at an unprecedented speed and scale. The economic costs it will bring to society can only be measured in times to come. Millions of people across the globe have already become unemployed, and similarly, millions of businesses have either shut down or are on the verge of collapse. It is a great challenge for policymakers to minimize the economic impact of COVID-19 and put the economy on a growth trajectory once again. Unfortunately, there is so far no country in the world that can be viewed as a role model for its economic response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study proposes Islamic finance as a potential tool to help affected economies safely pass through the economic crisis resulting from the pandemic. This study identifies a four-stage COVID-19 model and proposes ten innovative Islamic financial services for each stage of the pandemic. In addition, it analyzes how these services can be effectively utilized at different stages to overcome the economic damage caused by the pandemic.

“…Ironically, however, the broad business closures enforced in order to curb the pandemic may be less efficacious among minority and poorer communities, as such communities are less able to limit their mobility (e.g., working from home or limit within household contact due to dense housing and household occupancy) and are less likely to work in settings with regular testing or adequate ventilation, all of which may increase risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection [7]. Even worse, such communities who have less financial security at the outset may feel the economic impacts of public health interventions most acutely [8,9].…”

Recent studies have identified notable disparities in SARS-CoV-2 infection risk among ethnic minorities. We evaluated SARS-CoV-2 test results from individuals presenting for testing in Los Angeles between June and December, 2020. We calculated prevalence ratios for various employment categories. Among 518,914 test results, of which 295,295 (56.9%) were from individuals reporting Hispanic ethnicity, SARS-CoV-2 positivity was 16.5% among Hispanic individuals compared to 5.0% among non-Hispanic individuals (p-value <0.01). The prevalence ratios comparing Hispanic and non-Hispanic individuals were highest for members of the media (PR = 6.7; 95% CI 4.3-10.4), government employees (PR = 4.0; 95% CI 3.3-4.9), and agricultural workers (PR = 4.0; 95% CI 3.2-5.0). Such heterogeneity warrants further investigation in order to develop targeted public health interventions towards specific drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.
