Human health during this pandemic is the primary concern to address. Environmental systems, including water, have perceived positive impacts as a result of the reduction of pollutant loading from input of vehicle emission, and industries. This result to also, reduction in coliform and biochemical oxygen demand in rivers and lakes. Moreover, positive impacts, including air quality improvement as a result of a reduction in the loading of particulate matter, nitrous oxide, and other gaseous pollutants.
