“…This duration is decided because it comprised the period of the first three phases of lockdown in India. During the lockdown, sources of harmful gases and particulate matters were reduced dramatically, because most of the industries and major movement of vehicles were halted due to which air quality is improved up to a remarkable extent throughout the world (Broomandi et al 2020 ; Gautam and Hens 2020a ; Gautam and Trivedi 2020 ; Jain and Sharma 2020 ; Li et al 2020 ; Zhang et al 2020 ). During the current study period, a major movement of people is restricted due to lockdown, and henceforth other transmission factors of COVID-19 are targeted to nullify, reduce, or control up to a certain level.…”

“…After the announcement of COVID-19 as a pandemic by WHO in March 2020, different types of investigations increased at a faster pace (Arora et al 2020 ; Gautam and Hens 2020a , b ; Gautam and Trivedi 2020 ; Rajput et al 2020 ). Along with other studies on COVID-19, researchers also focused to find the relationships between weather conditions and coronavirus (Bashir et al 2020 ; Jahangiri et al 2020 ; Menebo 2020 ; Şahin 2020 ; Shi et al 2020 ; Tosepu et al 2020 ).…”

The novel coronavirus disease is known as COVID-19, which is declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization during March 2020. In this study, the COVID-19 connection with various weather parameters like temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity is investigated and the future scenario of COVID-19 is predicted based on the Gaussian model (GM). This study is conducted in Delhi, the capital city of India, during the lowest mobility rate due to strict lockdown nationwide for about two months from March 15 to May 17, 2020. Spearman correlation is applied to obtain the interconnection of COVID-19 cases with weather parameters. Based on statistical analysis, this has been observed that the temperature parameter shows a significant positive trend during the period of study. The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 is fitted with respect to the number of days by using the Gaussian curve and it is estimated on the basis of the model that maximum cases will go up to 123,886 in number. The maximum number of cases will be observed during the range of 166 ± 36 days. It is also estimated by using the width of the fitted GM that it will take minimum of 10 months for the complete recovery from COVID-19. Additionally, the linear regression technique is used to find the trend of COVID-19 cases with temperature and it is estimated that with an increase in temperature by 1 °C, 30 new COVID-19 cases on daily basis will be expected to observe. This study is believed to be a preliminary study and to better understand the concrete relationship of coronavirus, at least one complete cycle is essential to investigate. The laboratory-based study is essential to be done to support the present field-based study. Henceforth, based on preliminary studies, significant inputs are put forth to the research community and government to formulate thoughtful strategies like medical facilities such as ventilators, beds, testing centers, quarantine centers, etc., to curb the effects of COVID-19.

“…These containment measures put in place to reduce health outcomes of the global pandemic have affected environmental sustainability and economic development. While some studies have reported the environmental impact of COVID-19 (Gautam and Trivedi 2020), no study has yet reported the health and economic implications of the global pandemic. Given this, we present the pros and cons of environmental, health and economic impacts of COVID-19 across countries.…”

The institution of social distancing and punitive measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 through human-to-human transmission has environmental, health and economic impact. While the global pandemic has led to the enhancement of the health system and decline of emissions, economic development appears deteriorating. Here, we present the global environmental, health and economic dimension of the effect of COVID-19 using qualitative and empirical assessments. We report the health system policies, environmental sustainability issues, and fiscal, monetary and exchange rate measures introduced during lockdown across countries. While air pollution is reported to have declined, municipal and medical waste is increasing. The COVID-19 global pandemic uncertainty ranks the UK as the country with the highest uncertainty level among 143 countries. The USA has introduced 100% of pre-COVID-19 crisis level GDP, the highest policy cut-rate among 162 countries. Science, innovation, research and development underpin COVID-19 containment measures implemented across countries. Our study demonstrates the need for future research to focus on environment-health-economic nexus-a trilemma that has a potential trade-off.

“…Novel coronavirus was reported for the first time in Wuhan district of China in the month of December, 2019 (Gautam and Hens 2020). Thereafter, the coronavirus transmitted rapidly and affected a number of people within a month (WHO 2020; Gautam and Trivedi 2020;Sharma et al 2020). Gautam and Hens (2020) reported the information about the first affected person by SARS-CoV-2 in Kerala state of India in late January 2020.…”
