It has affected the whole world in a short period of time and declared as a sixth global health emergency as it disturbed routine of human being and all life activities. This study presents a review focusing on ongoing pandemic as a disaster that provided a way of opportunity for change towards potentially positive and negative impacts on the environment. The observed positive aspect for environment in the context of short time impacts are improvement in air quality due to reduction in greenhouse gas emission, noise, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter < = 2.5 μm experienced in countries including India,
