2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）是2019年12月下旬在中国武汉市发现的一种传染病，已被世界卫生组织宣布为大流行病。包括印度在内的大多数国家已宣布某种封锁，以减少COVID-19的影响并阻止新型冠状病毒的传播。COVID-19已对社会及周边环境造成重大负面影响，但空气质量亦有正面影响。美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的二级结果表明，印度地区的空气质量显着下降（50%）。这一观点强调了COVID-19导致的封锁对气溶胶光学厚度的影响，特别是在印度。
Corona virus diseases-2019 (COVID-19), an infectious disease identified in late December, 2019, in Wuhan city of China, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Most countries including India have announced some sort of lockdown to reduce the effects of COVID-19 and discontinue the transmission of novel coronavirus. Major negative effects on the social and surrounding environment have been reported due to COVID-19, however positive effects have also been observed with respect to air quality. Secondary results have been taken from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), indicating significant reduction (50%) in air quality of Indian region. This perspective highlights the effects of the lockdown due to COVID-19 on aerosol optical thickness specifically in India.
