Abstract

One of the 21st century's major threats is environmental change. In spite of all their efforts over the last few decades to restore nature, humans could only move a few steps forward, not to the degree commendable. The emergence and spread of the current 2019 coronavirus (2019-nCoV) or the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is presenting the world with a new public health crisis (SARS-CoV-2). The virus originated in bats and was transmitted to humans in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China by still unknown intermediate animals. Around 96,000 confirmed coronavirus disease cases have been reported in 2019 (COVID-2019) and 3300 reported deaths to date (05/03/2020). But the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have, over the last few months, effectively restored the atmosphere to a significant degree, which could certainly have a positive effect on global climate change. It, of course, affects the everyday actions of humans and the ecological environment around them. This review paper discusses the effects of the COVID-19 on the global warming.
