“… 1 Núñez-Delgado, 2020 Even taking into account that poorly treated wastewater and sewage sludge may be spread on soils, there is no published paper dealing with the quantification of the virus in soil-related liquid samples, as could be runoff, leachates, or soil solution. 1, 2 Wiktorczyk-Kapischke et al, (2021) SARS-CoV-2 is more resistant to environmental factors than other enveloped viruses. Sewage can be a source of SARS-CoV-2in soil.…”

The emerging threat posed by COVID-19 pandemic has strongly modified our lifestyle, making urgent to re-consider the humans-environment relationships and stimulating towards more sustainable choices in our daily behavior. Scientific evidences showed that the onset of new viral pathogens with a high epidemic-pandemic potential is often the result of complex interactions between animals, humans and environment. In this context, the interest of the scientific community has also been attracted towards the potential interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with environmental compartments. Many issues, ranging from the epidemiology and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in water bodies to the potential implications of lockdown measures on environmental quality status are here reviewed, with a special reference to marine ecosystems. Due to current sanitary emergence, the relevance of pilot studies regarding the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 spread and the direct and indirect environmental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, that are still a matter of scientific debate, is underlined.

“…Wu et al 2020 have confirmed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in fecal samples for more than 11 days after the respiratory tract samples became negative, which clearly indicates the possibility of fecal-oral transmission [20]. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in human excretions suggests the possibility of non-droplet transmission while SARS-CoV-2 RNA has also been detected in sewage and wastewater, and such spreading routes if could play role then may pose a high global public health concern, though detailed investigations are still needed [21,22].…”

The novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a global pandemic and has posed serious health hazards for the humanity since December 2019. Over 2.5 million deaths have been reported worldwide till date mainly due to rapid human-to-human transmission of this virus while affecting millions of people. The widespread propagation of this disease has radically changed the common practice of human's normal life. Numerous measures have been taken up by different health agencies and government bodies of several countries to combat the menace by attenuating the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The emergence of a new UK variant B.1.1.7 of the virus in some countries has indeed aggravated the issue of tackling the disease. The virus mainly transmits through coughs, sneezes, talks, or breathes. The airborne transmission is also an alternate dominant route. This opinion focuses on the infection capability of SARS-CoV-2 on different surfaces and also other possible means of transmission.

“…Surfaces contacted by contaminated people, water and sewage, trash, or soil are additionally likely courses of the infection spread. The hatching time of the COVID-19 keeps going from 2 to 12 days, with a normal of 5.1 days [ 22 ]. In pregnancy, an investigation of nine pregnant ladies who experienced COVID-19 in late pregnancy claimed that COVID-19 didn't create side effects than in non-pregnant people and there is no proof for intrauterine contamination brought about by vertical transmission [ 23 ].…”

“…A Corona virus cases was first recorded on 17 November 2019 in Wuhan, China, potentially because of a change in an infection transferred by bats. Since 31 December 2019, and starting at 13 January 2021, 92,097,048 instances of COVID-19, including 1,972,382 deaths, have been accounted for in 217 nations and domains [ 1 ]. As of January 30, 7736 affirmed and 12,167 speculated cases had been accounted in China and 82 affirmed cases had been recognized in 18 different nations [ 2 ].…”

The new Covid SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2), was first recognized in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, addresses a similar family as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-1 (SARS-CoV-1). On January 30, 2020 the World Health Organization pronounced the flare-up as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Diagnosis of this disease is carried out by using special molecular tests. It is mandatory to associate the individual with COVID 19 symptom and isolation is necessary to prevent further transmission of this virus. This review highlights the formation, prodrome, transmission, survival mechanism of COVID 19 and shows that, the pandemic circumstance fundamentally improves air quality in various urban areas across the globe, decreases water contamination and commotion, and diminishes the tension on the traveller objections, which may help with the reclamation of the natural framework. The worldwide effect of this new outbreak is yet dubious.
