SARS-CoV-2 and Environment: Transmission and Green Combat

Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a new zoonotic agent that emerged in December 2019, causes corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The external environment, the internal environment of buildings and human behavior are among the main factors involved in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. While the viral spread and transmission is significantly affected by the environment, certain green plants could provide stress alleviation from both physical and mental viewpoints. Some such green plants and development of green zones are suggested both at home and workplace, so that the planet too benefits from such greening initiatives.
