Most of the companies have come out with zero production in month of April, 2020. This paper explores the impact of this seismically disruptive environmental event on global environment and energy scenario. It provides a valuable guide to researchers, environmentalists and policy makers to provide a linkage between COVID-19 and various environmental concerns and remedial measures have also been suggested to combat SARS-CoV-2. Although the future trajectory of the pandemic remains uncertain, the pandemic has already brought many changes to how people live, and is likely to bring many more. As all the disasters have their time limits, one should be optimistic and must put all our feet together to win over this pandemic and respect the ecosystem before it is too late. © The Electrochemical Society
