COVID-19 has had major impacts on the economy and our health, but it has had positive aspects too.

Lower numbers of cars driven has drastically improved the environment. Their emissions, that increase levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, polluting the air and contributing to global warming, have decreased.
