Air quality affects the mortality rate from coronavirus infection.
This is stated in the report of the United Nations (UN):
"Air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions have been significantly reduced. According to current data, poor air quality has a higher mortality rate than COVID-19.
The organization said that without special measures to protect the environment, the impact of air purification in the world will be only a temporary achievement.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on countries to "pursue a green policy for inclusive economic recovery."
