“…However, infection control in this global scenario has the potential to look quite different in each country. Countries with fewer reported positive cases of the virus and deaths, like Australia and New Zealand (Fitzgerald & Wong, 2020), have had the opportunity to learn from the grave experiences of those who have suffered great loss -China, Italy, Spain, USA UK (ABC News, 2020;Hiscott et al, 2020), India and Mexico (ABC News, 2020). This builds a useful picture of future need and challenges the current infrastructure, just as Nightingale did 150 years ago.…”

Background: The work of Florence Nightingale has laid the foundation for contemporary nursing practice, bringing the fundamental art and science of nursing into the 21st century. Her Environmental Theory was the beginning of a lifetime's work, being one of her many healthcare reforms which survive to this day as the practice of infection control. Aim: To discuss the development of Nightingale's Environmental Theory in the 19th century and its application in contemporary 21st century nursing practice. Methods: A search of Nightingale's publications, biographers and theorists, selected journal articles and databases to build a picture of the origins, significance and practice of contemporary infection control. Findings: Nightingale's Environmental Theory has changed the face of infection control exponentially. Today's guidelines are an integral part of nursing practice, to the extent that they continue to evolve, particularly as the coronavirus pandemic remains active around the world. Discussion: Investigation of Nightingale's experiences in the Crimean War, of the disease, infection, death and dying that she encountered there and the subsequent development of her Environmental Theory and its application in 21st century nursing practice. Conclusion: Contemporary infection control is now an integral part of nursing and nursing practice the world over. It is an essential part of creating safe environments that help to promote good healing, good health and wellbeing and good patient outcomes, along with the opportunity for continued development to keep in step with changing patient and global need.

“…Such outbreaks are expected to continue because the environmental, demographic and behavioural drivers of infectious disease emergence are likely to remain intact for the foreseeable future. As illustrated by the current COVID-19 pandemic, high healthcare costs, economic disruption and loss of productivity are additional pandemic consequences that reinforce the urgent medical need to develop new antiviral strategies and therapeutics to combat, not only the current pandemic, but also future viral outbreaks ( Hiscott et al, 2020 ).…”

The study aims to examine the effects of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) measures on global environment and fertility rate by using the data of 1980 to 2019. The results show that communicable diseases including COVID-19 measures decrease carbon emissions and increase the chances of fertility rates in an account of city-wide lockdown. The knowledge spillover substantially decreases carbon emissions, while high energy demand increases carbon emissions. Poverty incidence increases fertility rate in the short-run; however, in the long-run, the result only supported with vulnerable employment and food prices that lead to increase fertility rates worldwide. The study concludes that besides some high negative externalities associated with COVID-19 pandemic in the form of increasing death tolls and rising healthcare costs, the global world should have to know how to direct high mass carbon emissions and population growth through acceptance of preventive measures, which would be helpful to contain coronavirus pandemic at a global scale.
