The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives like never before. However, its unprecedented scale has also forged greater cooperation between nations. We are learning from each other and trying to contain this dreaded disease. Though, the negative impact outweighs the positive attributes that are brought forth by the pandemic, there have been definite advantages that were observed during the pandemic. The mortality from other dreaded diseases and road accidents reduced dramatically. Healthy lifestyle became a regular norm. Health awareness at individual and household levels attained new heights. Environment and wildlife also experienced rejuvenation and air quality improved significantly all over the world. The support provided by the government to the startups for manufacturing masks and other necessities through the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan provided a boost to the failing economy. This article describes the positive impact brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Health, Environment, Social-behavioral and Economic aspects of our lives.
