More than 180 countries including China are affected with this dreaded virus. The pandemic is like a nightmare for the entire world. Roads, streets, malls, school, colleges, offices, theatres, restaurants and all entertainment zones are deserted. Hospitals are overcrowded with patients. Dead bodies are not being claimed by relatives as people are afraid of being infected by the virus from the dead bodies. These kinds of scenes send a shiver down the spine of every individual. There is no cure but scientists are relentlessly working to find a cure for this virus. The only cure is staying at home and observing social distancing from each other. The world is following lockdown religiously and trying to control the pandemic. It seems as if the world has come to a standstill. In these dark times there is a silver lining. No doubt the world is totally shattered but there are many positive incidents which COVID- 19 has brought along with its presence. This case study discusses on the positive aspects of COVID -19 which will definitely prove this saying that COVID-19 is actually a blessing in disguise which will start a new era in the entire world and for the humanity as a whole.
