Reductions in air pollution during COVID-19 lockdowns are the indirect results of policies not intended to reduce air pollution, and targeted pollution mitigation policies could reduce ambient air pollution at a fraction of the economic cost. Air pollution exposures are also frequently socially patterned and may contribute to higher rates of severe and fatal COVID-19 in lower-income populations, both by influencing the prevalence of chronic conditions and by interacting with SARS-CoV-2 infection directly. Even as air pollution may impact COVID-19 outcomes, stay-at-home orders related to COVID-19 have impacted ambient air pollution levels in some Latin American cities [[5]-[7]]. SARS-CoV-2 infections continue to grow in Latin America, where 80% of the population lives in urban areas that are also home to some of the largest societal inequities in the world.
