To the extent that, as more and more cities and countries applying the orders to finding homes and social restraints, the level of air pollution in the world fell sharply.
One of the most notable examples of this phenomenon was captured on the horizon at Jalandhar (Punjab, India) last week.
The past 30 years, the peaks of the Himalayan mountains were hidden due to air pollution and smog. Now, when the streets of the city there is heavy traffic and vehicles that consume gasoline, the mountain tops become visible to millions of local residents quarantined.
People, even those living at a distance of 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the mountain range, has published impressive pictures of snowy peaks in social networks.

After similar reports from China and the United States, air pollution continues to fall in countries that are quarantined, for example, in the UK and India.
Only in new Delhi, where there is the strongest air pollution in the world, it has become clearer by 71% in just one week.
Pollution harmful particles in the large cities of great Britain fell by a third and it is expected that the pace will increase even more as the quarantine lasts.
