The COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS CoV 2). COVID-19 needs to be seen beyond just the number of cases or deaths, especially in the context of its impact on air pollution, decline in road traffic accidents, improvement in air and water quality, decline in respiratory infection, nosocomial infections and pediatric chest infections, though some negative effect can be seen on the physical activity and hospital related transmission of COVID-19 to healthcare workers. An invisible virus has shown that it is possible that tangible policies can make world a better place to live in.

COVID 19 is undeniably one of the deadliest diseases that humanity has ever seen. It continues to affect the lives and livelihood of people appallingly across the world. Maximum discussions focus towards the apprehension of catching the infection, dwelling in homes, overpopulated nursing homes and shut down of all kinds. But, here let’s discuss the positive side of COVID 19 pandemic.As COVID 19 has spread its influence all over the world, affected countries have either announced lockdown or have implemented severe restrictions in their respective countries. Because of this, everyone dwells in their homes. Thus, exercising social distancing and functioning from home. All of the above is directed at restricting the transmission of coronavirus and expectantly ostracising the fatality from COVID 19. These transformations have also brought about some unanticipated emanations; some good things have come out of the pandemic as well. Positive effects of COVID 19 are seen on reduced road traffic, and road traffic accidents lowered levels of air pollution which has to lead to lowered heart attack rates and rejuvenating environment. Crime rates have fallen, and expenses are reduced in most places. Community action, communication amongst families, behaviour, sanitation, hygiene, online and distance education has positively impacted by COVID 19 pandemic. COVID 19 despite a bane for humans, can be thought of a boon for living beings. The habitats and elements have been purified with the stringent use of petrochemical products. To breathe fresh air and to consume purified water is a boon by itself. Now, it is time for humans to lead a caring life to every bounty bestowed on them by Nature. This thoughtful and considerate life will give hope for a healthy, stress-free life.

Economic Progress

The growth of motorised and mass transportation has improved the lives and lifestyles of many. This economic progress has major drawbacks including: increased air pollution, road traffic crashes/injuries (RTCs/RTIs). Some papers may refer to Road Traffic Accidents or RTAs, but experts recommend the more appropriate to use RTIs. In recent decades the proportion of RTI to all deaths has declined in high-income countries whereas it has risen in many low- and middle-income countries.

Pulmonary System

Even though severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (COVID-19) has been observed to mainly affect the pulmonary system, neurological (Central and Peripheral) involvements have already been reported in the literature. Also, it should be kept in mind that the patients may have COVID-19 regardless of the presence of respiratory symptoms, especially those presenting to the emergency departments (e.g. with road traffic accidents) or neurology outpatient clinics during the pandemic with neurological complaints and symptoms. A holistic approach is of great importance in protecting healthcare workers from infection as well as providing health-care to the patients and preventing late or misdiagnosis.

Relevance. Road traffic injuries are a global pandemic and one of the leading causes of death in the population. Federal highway M-8 “Kholmogory” is the leading transport artery of the European North of the country; has pronounced features inherent in all northern roads: significant distances between settlements and difficult road conditions, which together increase the risk of road traffic accidents (RTA) with medical consequences, and also seriously complicate the process of providing medical care to injured.Intention. To analize provision of specialized medical care to injured in RTA on the federal highway M-8 “Kholmogory” in the Arkhangelsk region during the hospital period and propose improvements.Methodology. Domestic and foreign publications on the organizational approaches to the provision of specialized medical care to injured in road traffic accidents during the hospital period were analyzed based on specialized scientific search engines (eLibrary, PubMed, Scopus).Results and Discussion. Problems in the organization of medical care to injured in RTA on the federal highway M-8 “Kholmogory” in the Arkhangelsk region during the hospital period were identified and systematized. The ways of its improvement are outlined.Conclusion. Implementation of the measures proposed will reduce medical and sanitary consequences, concomitant road traffic injuries on the federal highway, including disability and mortality in the medium and long term.

The main aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the necessity to estimate the external costs of transport, and in particular in urban area of Canton Sarajevo. It does not provide full extent of the costs as it focuses only on two components, air pollution and accidents. It focuses on the concise methodology for estimation of external expenses of air pollution from road and air transport and road traffic accidents, using official statistical data for modeling emissions (COPERT 4, Copert Street Level, IPPC Tier 3A methodology) and for accounting road traffic accidents. Statistical significance of correlation between traffic flow and measured concentration of pollutant at Otoka location is determined by Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Air pollution and traffic accidents are monetized according to the Synapse Energy Economics cost estimation of metric ton of CO2, and Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University, for other pollutants, while estimation methodology for both air pollution and traffic accidents is done in line with Handbook on External Costs of Transport, European Commission.
