Abstract
On March 11, 2020, the novel Corona virus disease (COVID-19), was described as a
pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO). Globally, the COVID-19 has not only
affected the public health socially but also has rigorously affected economically. Substantial
declines in income, increase in unemployment, and distractions in the transportation,
amenities, and industrial sectors are amongst the major concerns of the pandemic disease
extenuation. Furthermore, the governments of most of the countries underestimated the
menaces of COVID-19 spread and were typically responsive for the calamities in their
respective countries. As outbreak of this pandemic is not likely to wane in the nearby future,
preventive actions are prerequisite to prevent infection spread, save people lives and also to

of
save the economic affluence. In this review, based on the present knowledge and available

ro
literature, we have demonstrated the various aspects of pre-and post-COVID-19 effects over
the social and economic phases worldwide. Moreover, the evidence based data have been
-p
summarized regarding threats, social influences, scientific upgrades, moral dynamics, stress
re
and adapting in the pre- and post- COVID-19 situations.

1. Introduction

The present day coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was originated
from Wuhan city, Hubei province, China in December 2019. The outbreak of COVID-19
pandemic has mostly effected the human health and has severely been observed as a reason
for increased death cases all over the globe. The pandemic has not only impacted general
human concerns, but also caused heartbreaking financial and political emergencies in the
infected nations. COVID-19, aside from being a threat to the world, has also been recognized
as a major cause of disparity and insufficiency of social progression [1]. The name COVID-
19 has been originated as 'CO' means 'crown,' 'VI' for 'infection,' and 'D' for illness, and 19

of
representing the year of infection (2019). It is a solitary abandoned RNA virus with a size

ro
ranging from 80-120 nm and sickness caused due to this virus has rapidlyspreaded all over
the globe.The World Health Organization (WHO) categorized the coronavirus as pandemic
-p
on March 11, 2020. Also, the Global Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) recognized
re
that the infection from this virus, identified as SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory
syndrome-coronavirus-2), led to an extreme respiratory disorders [2]. The corona virus are
lP

further categorized into four subgroups, named as α-, β-, γ-, and δ. Apart from SARS-CoV-2
infections, the human race has also been effected with various other viruses, including H1N1,
na

polio, Ebola, Zika and others. On 30 January, 2020 WHO announced COVID-19 as a
ur

worldwide crisis that have severely affected the human beings. These overall outbreaks
triggered countless fatalities, sicknesses, and costs billions of dollars [3]. The COVID-19
Jo

consequences have severely effected the social life of human beings and also impacted the
global economy. In this paper, we have focusedon the various effects of COVID-19 on the
health conditions and its post-pandemic consequences.

1.1. Background
The outbreak of COVID-19 was firstly reported in December 2019 in Wuhan City,
Hubei Province, People's Republic of China, and the infected patients were diagnosed with
symptoms of intense respiratory disorder, headache, fatigue, throat pain, mild fever and
others[4, 5]. Specifically, a few cases were con-solidified in African nations, including Egypt,
Algeria, and Nigeria [6]. As per reports, this have been found to be as an irresistible sickness
out-break in China since 1949. It is an ultimate fight since the infection has spreaded so quick
with greater predominance, and the counteraction of the transmission has significantly
effectedalmost all the individuals from diverse nations[7]. However, atworldwide level, the
strategy to control the spread of infectionthrough this virus need to beavailed as soon as
possible [8]. Most specifically, three queries should be answered, including (i) how to take
the crisis reaction activities viably in various nations; (ii) how to activate assets rapidly with
vital ways; and (iii) how to support individual’s professional from different sectors
effectively.Proficiently, control of the irresistible sources, hindering the spread courses, and
ensuring the susceptive populaceare few crucial steps and could play significant role in the
prevention as well as monitoring of the infection spread [9, 10].

1.2. Initial approaches against pandemic crisis

In managing the outbreak, countries like China has firstly attained the method of

of
fitting intercessions into neighborhood arrangements, from rapidly finding the tainted

ro
individuals, followed by close associates and putting them in the isolation conditions, to
promote essential cleanliness measures to general society [11-13]. By adjusting reaction
-p
strategies to the neighborhood setting, it might abstain from barring the city when it isn't
re
required, and furthermore keep from a significant flare-up without making any move. These
strategies were later followed by other nations. Under the solid initiative of the government
lP

agencies of individual countries, the preparation for the crisis reactions has been successfully
advanced. For example, in China a Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State
na

Council wasorganized to control the outbreak, clinical salvage, logical exploration and
ur

worldwide participation [13]. Moreover, countries including India, USA, France, Italy,
Russia and others have applied these strategies, but also have applied few other strategies for
Jo

mitigating the spread of the infection. Furthermore, clinical experts, physicians and
doctorshave been allotted by the regulatory agencies of individual nations to execute crisis
reactions such as clinical cure, epidemiological checkups, and environmental sanitization
[5,25,34].

1.3. Empowering individuals proactively to fight against COVID-19

It is critical to protect the people, specifically the working class and daily wages
workers, from the contamination and in these circumstances all occupants in the potential
hazard territories were urged to remain at home, which is a compelling method to obstruct the
transmission courses. Initially, the laborers and volunteers showed with the symptoms were
proactively taken for diagnosis and screening for the presence of infection in the body. These
diagnostic approaches helped in actualizing the number of positive cases and also for
arranging appropriate measures by administrations, for example, driving patients to the
portable medical clinics [11]. Simultaneously, from clinical consideration side, the clinical
specialists and attendants buckled down in the medical clinics, to screen the speculated cases,
give clinical consideration to the affirmed cases, and took effective measures to save serious
patients. The epidemiologists working in communities for regulating sickness and prevention
of infection gave the factual outcomes regarding the propagation of epidemiological
informations effectively.

2. Effect of Covid-19 Outbreak

COVID-19 has effected everyday life of humans and has hindered the worldwide

of
economy. This pandemic also impacted a social life of people all over the world. This

ro
infection has spreaded all over the globe, almost in 213 countries as per WHO reports, and
has showed severe implications over countries economic and health systems [12, 13]. Many
-p
countries locked their facilities, amenities, educational institutions, industrial sectors, daily
re
usage marketplaces and others, to prevent the spread of this infections [14 15]. The different
trades and business sectors have been severely influenced by this infection.Apart from these
lP

some significant impacts and concerns over the healthcare services, economy and social life
has been discussed.
na
ur

2.1. Human services (Healthcare) impacts

• Difficulties in the identification, isolation and treatment of suspected or
Jo

infected patients.
• Overburden of the medical and clinical personals.
• Patients suffering or diagnosed with other diseases are effected due to
ignorance.
• Overloaded cases decreased the medication facilities in medical shops.
• High assurance is needed.

2.2. Monetary (Economy) impacts

• The accumulation of basic products has been slowed and reduced.
• Disruption in the flexiblerange of stuffs.
• Loss in the national and globaltrade.
• Meager income in the global market.
2.3. Social impacts
• Service areas do not found any options to manage their apt support.
• Withdrawal or deferment in international or national sport sectors.
• The tourism sectors have been severely affected.
• Prohibition over various festive occasions.
• Unnecessary apprehensions amongst the public masses.
• Distancing from family, friends and relatives.
• Shut down of the cafeterias, restaurants, shops, recreations centers, gyms etc.
This COVID-19 has influenced the wellsprings of flexibly and impacts the worldwide
economy. There are limitations of venturing out starting with one nation then onto the next

of
nation. During voyaging, quantities of cases are distinguished positive when examined,

ro
predominantly when they visit various places of world [16].

2.4. Global threat

-p
re
COVID-19 pandemic has become a global threat and has developed a fear amongst
lP

the mankind, however the people have taken lots of cautious steps to get rid of this dreadful
infection[17, 18]. Moreover, negative feelings and thinking amongst the people could result
na

in severe transmission of the infection [19], and the dismay could cause unwanted hazards in
the society [20]. It has been noticed that the proper attention on infection uncertaintiesand
ur

related fear have also proved to be sometimes beneficial as it develops awareness amongst
Jo

the people [21]. These outcomes pf public fear for COVID-19 spread has produced
alterations amongst the social life of people all over the world.The sound wellbeing choices
rely upon precise impression of the expenses and advantages of specific decisions for oneself
and for society [22, 23]. A passionate reaction to a hazardous circumstance can impact
thinking in two stages. Moreover, the feeling quality of a person (for instance, constructive
versus adverse) depends upon the type of information and thoughts shared by the individuals
around [24, 25]. Thus, increase in hostile feelings amongst the people increases and this
might generate negativity in thoughts and so could enhance the threat feelings of COVID-19,
and this is very essential to control and make people feel less panic [26, 27].

2.5. Preference and Discrimination

The understanding of anxiety and threat has showed significant facts regarding the
social conditions, of not just for how individuals consider themselves, but also how they feel
and respond to other people in their surroundings[28]. Greater dismay and danger are related
with more noteworthy narrow mindedness and corrective mentalities toward out-groups [29,
30]. Featuring gatheringlimits can reduce sympathy with the individuals who are socially
distant [31, 32] and might have positive signs of infections [33].
The bubonic plague, for instance, released gigantic brutality in Europe, remembering
the homicide of Catalans for Sicily, ministers and ask gars in certain areas, and slaughters
against Jews, with eradication over a thousand networks [34]. In spite of the fact that only
one out of every odd pandemic prompts vicious, infection can offer ascent to segregation and
brutality against disparaged or scapegoated gatherings [35].

of
2.6. Disaster and Panic

ro
There is a typical confidence in mainstream society that, when in risk, individuals
fear, particularly when they are in groups. So, they act aimlessly and unreasonably out of
-p
self-protection, possibly imperiling the endurance of all [36]. Such thought has been utilized
re
to disclose reactions to the present COVID-19 flare-up, mostly according to the idea of 'alarm
purchasing. Unquestionably, a few people do act childishly and a few, particularly the
lP

individuals who are helpless, may encounter more misery. The participation, active
representation and astounding humanity of people have been noticed by the people during the
na

crises, tragedy and other numerous disastrous cases [35]. For example, the guiding principles
ur

and unity among people in general have increased because of Covid-19 [36]. In fact, in fires
[37] and other common hazards [38], individuals are less inclined to bite the dust from over-
Jo

response than from under-response.

Then again, the feeling of shared personality can be sabotaged by speaking to others
as contenders. This can occur with pictures of void racks and accounts of frenzy purchasing,
which recommend that others are just paying special mind to themselves, along these lines
inciting a craving for doing likewise. Furthermore, loading up on provisions is versatile in
anticipation of potential self-isolation. Also, utilization of the idea of frenzy can be
effectively unsafe. They can encourage the very independence and seriousness that
transforms reasonable arrangements into broken accumulating and subvert the feeling of
aggregate reason which encourages individuals supporting each other during a crisis [39-42].

2.7. Social practices

Mostly the behaviour of individuals get effected by the practice of their thinking
about what other people think or do, they follow the same [43]. A number of literature has
been reported regarding several thought practices related to moral values and ethics [43, 44].
In spite of the fact that people are obstructed by values, their recognitions are usually
inaccurate [45]. For instance, individuals can underestimate wellbeing advancing practices
(for instance, washing of hands [46]) and misjudge ill-fated activities [47]. Altering practices
by rectifying such misunderstandings could be accomplished by open messages fortifying
positive moral values. Giving exact data about the activities of the people and their behavior
probably could be more useful rather than mentioning false activities. However, in the event
that what the vast majority are doing isn't alluring, giving simply illustrative regulating data
can reverse discharge by diminishing constructive practices among individuals who as of
now participate in them, except if it is joined by data flagging that the vast majority endorse

of
of these activities (prescriptive instead of enlightening norms) [48,49]. Informal population or

ro
communities could increase the spread of practices which are hurtful well as useful during
the plague infections, and these effects might spread from an individual to a group and
-p
further to the entire community [50-52]. Moreover, the main suspected persons or infected
re
patients might be prominent in increasing the awareness against the pandemic prevention
since they are the productive sources of intrusions such as washing of hands, isolation and
lP

others [53, 54]. Studies have recommended that a bigger extent of intercessions could not
necessarily arise from direct consequences for individuals who get the medication, however
na

may arise from the circuitous impacts on their social associates who replicated the behavior
ur

[55].
Jo

2.8. Social imbalance

Inconsistency in social life is influenced by not only just who is at most serious stage
of contamination or capitulating to the illness, but also who can receive recommendation to
reduce the spreading of infection [56, 57]. The destitute cannot cover in places [58], families
in lodging deprived of running water can't keep themselves sanitized[59], individuals who are
confined by a state (for instance, in correctional facilities, jails, migrant detainment
communities or exile camps) may need space to execute physical removing, individuals
immediately or abstain from looking for testing or treatment, individuals who depend on
open transportation can't generally stay away from huge groups and low-wage laborers are
frequently in professions (for instance, administration, retail, cleaning, rural work) where
remote jobs are incomprehensible [60, 61]. Monetary burden is likewise connected with the
prior conditions related with higher bleakness rates once contaminated, for example,
bargained resistant frameworks, diabetes, coronary illness and constant lung ailments like
asthma and ceaseless obstructive aspiratory disease [62-65]. We anticipate that, the risks
associated with the financial assets could impede well by the pre- as well as post-pandemic
conditions of COVID-19, and could even encounter negative results such as social imbalance
and economic crisis severely [66-69].
Monetary positions and cultural imbalance are additionally connected with the trust
level in communal establishments, including the human services framework. Cultural and
racial minority networks both have authentic and present-day encounters of segregation,
leading to mistrust [70-73]. Individuals from these networks might be bound to be vigilant
about the general wellbeing data they get, less ready to embrace suggested security measures
and possibly progressively defenseless to 'counterfeit news'. This recommends the

of
requirement for more focused on general wellbeing and confided in associations that are

ro
inward to these networks [74].

2.9. Culture impacts

-p
re
The people’s feeling of being self as free against associated with group of people has
been a major part of social disparity [75]. Society of Western Europe and North America
lP

highly supports individualism [76] and consider themselves to be free, whereas most of the
other societies follow a trend of group formations [77-80]. Despite the fact that the clinical
na

tactics are distinct through the social guidelines, a few disparities towards pandemic may be
ur

better represented as social, and a considerable quantity of it have a connecting age with
element of independence versus dependence [80-84]. Firstly, the requirement specified to the
Jo

promises and requirements in Asian social instructions might spur individuals to stay
motivated on usual practices [85-87]. Secondly, the Asians might observe unobtrusive
situational effects on the viral disease, alike the crowd immunity [88]. Thirdly, normal
practices and shows in North American parts and quite a bit of Western European areas
would definitely admire the clarity of oneself, as compared to Asians [89-92]. Furthermore,
such conditions seem to be another fact that why socialspread of the infections could be more
feasible in independent societies as compared to dependent societies [93-98].

2.10. Paranoid ideas

Paranoid fears rose along after the main updates on COVID-19 and proceeded to
persist [99]. Few considered the origination of SARS-CoV-2 infection, for instance, as it was
a form of bio-weapon developed by the Chinese to take up arms against the developed
countries like United States and other [100]. Apart from this, other focused on anticipations
for its treatment approaches and prospects, for example, traditional clinical treatment ought
not to be reliable and that the individuals or patients should make use of elective solutions for
prevent the infection or its consequences [101-105]. It isn't amazing that paranoid fears have
thrived right now. Examination recommends that individuals want to clarify huge occasions
with relatively enormous causes [106] and are bound to have faith in fear inspired notions
about occasions with genuine concerns [107, 108] and in the midst of predicament [109].
This is likely on the grounds that individuals are progressively attracted to paranoid ideas
when significant mental needs are frustrated [110-112]. In this way, fear inspired notions may
acquire footing as COVID-19 spreads and more individuals disengage themselves [113, 114].

of
2.11. False news and falsehood

ro
Fake news and misrepresentation, mostly via web-based networking media, about the
COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted its post-pandemic situation all over the globe
-p
and has causedvariouslethal consequences [115]. Developing examination is utilizing
re
sociology to comprehend and fetch the spread of deceiving news [116, 117, 118]. To mitigate
this circumstances, delineation of such news and keeping people aware of it, could be one of
lP

the significant method to get rid of it [119,120,121]. Also, co-prejudice, uncovering refusal,
and rectifications that give causal clarifications, all will in general increase the viability of
na

countering misinformation [122,123,124]. Additionally, various government agencies have

ur

combinely performed numerous strategies regarding the significant alterations essentialfor

the augmentationof people’s faith towards accurate news [121,124,125] and to identify the
Jo

misleading informations [126].

3. COVID-19 outbreak: Effects on society, global environment and prevention

The connection between human wellbeing and ailment is neither another idea, nor
another subject. The origination of COVID-19 from China followed by its global outbreakhas
led for significant medical problems. The most common mode of transmission is from person
to the persondue to close contacts(Fig. 2). To overcome the infective symptoms, sanitizers or
vaporizers are usually used that could infiltrate the human body (respiratory framework)
[127]. The presenting highlights of COVID-19 malady in grown-ups are articulated. It
involves extraordinary implication to explain the relationship amongstthe COVID-19 and the
infected persons. COVID-19 pandemic is a respiratory tract associated disease that mostly
harms the cells/tissues of lungs, but might also affect other respiratory organs or tissues.
Moreover, the virus propagation is very common in serum or plasma in respiratory tract
infections, thus the SARS-CoV-2 transmission probably may occur by blood transfusions
[128].

3.1. COVID-19 and global economy

The loss of lives because of any pandemic leads to unmistakable damages to the
general public. The COVID-19 pandemic has extremelyimpacted the global economy. It is
very important to restrict the further spread of the infection in the society and for this a most
of the nations have opted a strict decision of nation lockdown. These circumstances have
severely affected the business transportations of differentcountries and has led for economy
crisis. Traders who were completely dependent over the transportation systems, have been

of
effected the most doe to this pandemic. Also, due to significant increase in number of

ro
infective cases, the daily worker count has decreased leading to a major impact of industrial
sectors. Economy of various nations are presently facing the issue ofincreased joblessness
-p
due tolack of productivity and more consumption for the cure and renewal of the COVID-19
re
fatalities and their relatives[121]. Lockdown or shut-down have reasonably influenced the
GDP of each nation in the substantial economic aspects. Recently, the GDP of few Asian,
lP

Eurpoean and South-American nations have declined very certainly and this could
significantly lead to devastating consequences in the upcoming days. The economic and
na

social life of people of these countries has been affected severely by the post-pandemic
ur

situations. The government and other regulating agencies of these nations should have to take
some severe actions, either independently or with mutual consents and discussions.
Jo

3.2. COVID-19: worldwide condition, anticipation and infection control

From the earliest starting point of progress, people have began governing the nature
for its own advantages. So as to fulfil the interest of intensifying populace urbanization and
industrialization got inescapable, and the undeniable centrality was end up being detrimental
on the worldwide condition. Further, ecological worries include contamination of air and
water, environmental changes, depletion of ozone layer, a worldwide temperature alteration,
decreased ground level water, alterations in biological system and biodiversity, arsenic
tainting and others [128].
COVID-19 pandemic is a worldwide danger which has required worldwide response.
Government of various nations ought to be liable for giving accurate in-arrangement to
support the novel contamination. To diminish the harm associated with COVID-19, general
wellbeing and disease control activities are quickly important to restrain the worldwide
transmission of the infection (Fig.1). Numerous global systems are talked about underneath
to counteraction and regulate COVID-19 infection.

3.3. Feasible medication

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a clinical danger to the common populace and
medicinal services labourers around the world. Since this is an exceptionally new infection,
much information about this novel infection is hence not accessible. Up until this point, there
are no accurate antiviral medicines or immunizations for COVID-19 sickness. In this manner,
it is a critical need of time to progress a sheltered and stable COVID-19 immunization. The
medicines including chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have exhibited significant potential

of
against COVID-19 pandemic in research centre investigations and in-vivo examines [129].

ro
Remdesivir and chloroquine were exceptionally compelling in the control of 2019-nCoV in
vitro [130]. The SARS-CoV-2 is a RNA-based infection, so any immunizations which shows
-p
powerful action against other RNA infections, including influenza, measles, encephalitis B,
re
polio, and flu, can be alternative potential approaches. In this way, examination will keep on
assuming a significant job to find new medications or immunizations to forestall and control
lP

the COVID-19 contaminations.

4. Conclusion
ur

In earlier years, around 100 years ago the Science magazine demonstrated a work on
the Spanish Flu pandemic. The paper contended that three principle factors hold up traffic of
Jo

counteraction: (i) individuals don't welcome the dangers they run, (ii) it conflicts with human
instinct for individuals to quiet themselves down in unbending disconnection as a method for
ensuring others, and (iii) individuals frequently unknowingly go about as a proceeding with
risk to themselves as well as other people. This paper is a summarized work which provides
few experiences from the previous reported works related to the issues in the social and
economic sectors that may help general wellbeing authorities relieve the effect of the current
pandemic. In particular, we examined research on danger observation, social setting, science
correspondence, adjusting individual and aggregate interests, initiative, stress and coping
associated with the pre-and post-pandemic conditions due to COVID-19. Impending actions
are estimated to restrain the possibly obliterating influences of COVID-19, activities that
could be indorsed by the behavioural and sociologies. Furthermore, a large number of the
ideas out-lined here might be pertinent to upcoming pandemics and common wellbeing
crises.
