TLDR
Environmental pollutants such as PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, and CO have a significant correlation with the COVID-19 epidemic in California, and this study is a useful supplement to encourage regulatory bodies to promote changes in environmental policies as pollution source control can reduce the harmful effects of environmental pollutants.About:

The role of air pollution (PM and NO2) in COVID-19 spread and lethality: A systematic review.
Chiara Copat,Antonio Cristaldi,Maria Fiore,Alfina Grasso,Pietro Zuccarello,Salvatore Santo Signorelli,Gea Oliveri Conti,Margherita Ferrante +7 more
TL;DR: Major findings are consistent, highlighting the important contribution of PM2.5 and NO2 as triggering of the COVID-19 spread and lethality, and with a less extent also PM10, although the potential effect of airborne virus exposure it has not been still demonstrated.

How do low wind speeds and high levels of air pollution support the spread of COVID-19?
TL;DR: Results here suggest that high concentrations of air pollutants, associated with low wind speeds, may promote a longer permanence of the viral particles in the air, thus favouring an indirect means of diffusion of viral infectivity of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), in addition to the direct diffusion with human-to-human transmission dynamics.

TL;DR: Investigating impacts of COVID-19 mitigation measures on ambient air quality in five Indian cities using in-situ measurements from 2015 to 2020 indicated improvements in air quality may be considered a temporary lockdown benefit as revitalising the economy could reverse this trend.

The economic impact of COVID-19
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore seven different scenarios of how COVID-19 might evolve in the coming year using a modelling technique developed by Lee and McKibbin (2003) and extended by McKibbin and Sidorenko (2006) and examine the impacts of different scenarios on macroeconomic outcomes and financial markets in a global hybrid DSGE/CGE general equilibrium model.
