Although the adverse economic and social effects of the Coronavirus significantly increase the negative point of the disease, it also had a positive aspect, and that was the return of nature to its original place. Water is one of the most critical environmental factors which are highly polluted by human activities. Water has also a direct effect on soil pollution. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers on farms, discharges of sewage and industrial effluents into the seas, acid rain, and oil pollution are among the factors that pollute water and soil; in this way, Corona disease seems to affect the quality of water and soil by reducing these activities.
