“…Apart from this, Singh and Chauhan 2020 stated that during the lockdown, air pollution levels decreased significantly, particularly in Delhi and Kolkata, both of which are renowned to be among India’s and the world's most polluted cities. Apart from this, various studies indicate that there is an improving nature of air quality in association with COVID-19 lockdown in various parts of the world (Balasubramaniam et al 2020 ; Kumari and Toshniwal 2020b ; Li et al 2020 ). Chowdhuri et al 2021 show that, due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian government implemented a lockdown period (which began on March 24, 2020) during which the concentrations of several contaminants fell considerably.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic enforced nationwide lockdown, which has restricted human activities from March 24 to May 3, 2020, resulted in an improved air quality across India. The present research investigates the connection between COVID-19 pandemic-imposed lockdown and its relation to the present air quality in India; besides, relationship between climate variables and daily new affected cases of Coronavirus and mortality in India during the this period has also been examined. The selected seven air quality pollutant parameters (PM 10 , PM 2.5 , CO, NO 2 , SO 2 , NH 3 , and O 3 ) at 223 monitoring stations and temperature recorded in New Delhi were used to investigate the spatial pattern of air quality throughout the lockdown. The results showed that the air quality has improved across the country and average temperature and maximum temperature were connected to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This outcomes indicates that there is no such relation between climatic parameters and outbreak and its associated mortality. This study will assist the policy maker, researcher, urban planner, and health expert to make suitable strategies against the spreading of COVID-19 in India and abroad.

“…The number of infected case is getting increased each day because of human–human transmission. Poor restriction on air travel and other commuting modes are the main reason for this worst condition (Balasubramaniam et al ., 2020). By managing the people commuting, the spread can be terminated.…”

Purpose The focus of the current study to combat the ongoing pandemic by preventing the transmission using the Unmanned aerial vehicle system. The transmission of the COVID-19 pandemic can be avoided only by finding the infectious person at the right time. Despite the thermal scanning camera and artificial intelligence technology, finding the infectious individual at many occasions has become questionable. Design/methodology/approach The drones are equipped with the thermal vision camera to detect the human body temperature. In addition, they are equipped with the disinfect tank to sanitize the indoor and outdoor environments based on the requirement. Findings Once the lockdown eased, the experts fear that the infection rate can increase in the high-density population countries such as India. The drone with thermal screening and day vision camera can detect the infection of the person without any human intervention. Further, they can also be used to disinfect the public places by aerial spraying. Practical implications Using the drones to monitor the work places, shopping mall and education institution to identify the mask through artificial intelligence is viable without human intervention in short span of time. Originality/value COVID-19 impact on the global was awful. Finding a suitable technology to combat the COVID-19 is much necessary. This conceptual study proposed to use drone technology to identify the infection at right time even on densely populated streets. Further, artificial technology can be used to detect the person who was not wearing mask. Added to above, disinfect tank can be mounted to sanitize the area in the required places.

In late 2019, a novel irresistible infection with human to human contagious transmission (COVID-19) was recognized in Wuhan, China, which has transformed into a worldwide pandemic. Nations everywhere in the world have executed a type of lockdown to hinder its contamination and moderate it. Lockdown because of COVID-19 effectively affects social and monetary fronts. In any case, this lockdown likewise has some constructive outcome on regular habitat. The study objective is to think about the adequacy of COVID-19 lockdown on the air contamination around the world. Because of pandemic, all avoidable activities around the globe were prohibited. Ongoing information delivered by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and ESA (European Space Agency) demonstrates that the contamination level in certain nations has decreased up to 30%. The nationwide halting of public transports and closure of major industrial units has resulted in obvious significant reductions in emissions of a variety of gases related to energy and transport. The decrease of air contamination was firmly connected with movement limitations during this pandemic and five air toxins i.e., SO2, PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and CO have likewise diminished.
