“…Depression is frequently caused by physical and psychological stress, anxiety, frustration, negative experiences, and fear. Because schools are using virtual methods in which tears are required to engage with adolescents online, detecting any behavioral changes can be difficult ( Gautam et al, 2022 ). As a result, parents may find themselves playing the additional role of teacher or counselor, particularly for adolescents who are showing signs of depression.…”

Coronavirus has been identified as one of the deadliest diseases and the WHO has declared it a pandemic and a global health crisis. It has become a massive challenge for humanity. India is also facing its fierceness as it is highly infectious and mutating at a rapid rate. To control its spread, many interventions have been applied in India since the first reported case on January 30, 2020. Several studies have been conducted to assess the impact of climatic and weather conditions on its spread in the last one and half years span. As it is a well-established fact that temperature and humidity could trigger the onset of diseases such as influenza and respiratory disorders, the relationship of meteorological variables with the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases has been anticipated. The association of several meteorological variables has therefore been studied in the past with the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases. The conclusions in those studies are based on the data obtained at an early stage, and the inferences drawn based on those short time series studies may not be valid over a longer period. This study attempted to assess the influence of temperature, humidity, wind speed, dew point, previous day’s number of deaths, and government interventions on the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases in 18 districts of India. It is also attempted to identify the important predictors of the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in those districts. The random forest model and the hybrid model obtained by modelling the random forest model's residuals are used to predict the response variable. It is observed that meteorological variables are useful only to some extent when used with the data on the number of the previous day’s deaths and lockdown information in predicting the number of COVID-19 cases. Partial lockdown is more important than complete or no lockdown in predicting the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. Since the time span of the data in the study is reasonably large, the information is useful to policymakers in balancing the restriction activities and economic losses to individuals and the government.

“…Disruptions in economic activities and commodity markets ( Rajput et al, 2021 ), limitations in mobility and industrial activities but at the same time, improving the air quality of the cities ( Ambade et al, 2021 , Gautam et al, 2021 , Gautam, 2020 , Ravina et al, 2021 ), and challenges in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ( Bherwani et al, 2021 , Ranjbari et al, 2021b ) are only a few instances of the pandemic’s implications for the global community. This pandemic through posing a significant increase in healthcare waste generation, which is an important transmission medium for the virus, has led to creating critical challenges for waste management (WM) practices globally (C. Chen et al, 2021; Gautam et al, 2022 ). The dramatic increase of personal protective equipment waste often ends up being treated by traditional disposal methods that have gravely pressured incineration and landfill facilities ( Wang et al, 2021 ).…”
