Abstract
The whole world was disturbed because of COVID-19. It brought several positive and negative effects on human, environment, and climate. During the lockdown period of COVID-19, all movements and activities slowed. All socio-economic activities, industrial workshops, and production units were completely closed. Due to restriction and slowdown of these activities, some environmental conditions improved including air quality and water pollution. But due to the increasing number of COVID-19 patients, rate of generation of medical waste increased (PPE kit, face mask, and hand gloves). Unplanned discarding and production of medical waste causes ill effects on the environment as well as human beings. These environmental and human consequences have long-lasting effects; therefore, they require proper and well-planned sustainable strategies for a better future and to overcome these consequences. The COVID-19 pandemic has obtained an overall global response to win this COVID-19 battle.
