Covid-19 is one of the deadliest viruses ever seen in human civilization to date. This paper discusses the relationship between the novel coronavirus 2019 (2019-nCoV) pandemic and air contaminants namely nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter 10 (PM 10), particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) and carbon dioxide (CO2), and human health. Exposure to the five contaminants will further intensify the spread of the disease and may contribute to mortality. At the same time, however, Covid-19 has a beneficial effect in minimizing the release of all five contaminants into the air. Second, this paper also analyses the relationship between the impact of Covid-19 on the possible success of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ten SDGs most affected by this pandemic are No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Sustainable Cities and Communities and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. Some of the SDGs are negatively impressed, but there are still those that are positively impressed. Emergency responses and strategies, and eventually policies should prioritize the 10 SDGs while addressing the defining elements significantly related to Covid-19 outbreak. This pandemic has taught us an enormous lesson to be vigilant and to set our priorities right for the sake of mankind, and in achieving sustainability.
