Answer:While lockdown is necessary to curtail the spread of the highly infectious coronavirus, it can have a long-lasting negative impact on the health of the people.COVID-19 is more infectious than other coronaviruses such as SARS or MERS-CoV, but less deadly than these previous epidemics. The risk of dying from the new coronavirus is just about 4.4%, as compared to SARS (10%) or MERS-CoV (34%). Unfortunately, being less deadly is the main reason why the COVID-19 outbreak spread across the world and turned into a pandemic. Studies show that majority of the people infected with the novel coronavirus are either asymptomatic (showing no symptoms) or have very mild symptoms. This means asymptomatic patients have been spreading the virus unaware that they were even infected. Here comes the importance of lockdown and social distancing to reduce infections and slow the pandemic. We also couldn’t agree more when Union health minister Harsh Vardhan stated that “social distancing is social vaccine” in managing the infection of COVID-19. As there is no treatment or a vaccine for the disease yet, restricting most human contact is the only way to stop the spread of the virus.
Environmental Benefits
COVID-19 lockdowns have led to fewer vehicles on the road and planes in the sky, resulting in cleaner environment around the world. The reduction of the human impact on the environment is showing amazing improvement in the pollution level. Climate scientists have found a huge improvement in air quality across the globe. There have been reports about the canals in Venice becoming clearer and the city smog getting lifted in China.
