The extent of the global pandemic due to COVID-19 has a significant impact on our lives that must be studied carefully to combat it. This study highlights the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on crucial aspects of daily life globally, including; Food security, Global economy, Education, Tourism, hospitality, sports and leisure, Gender Relation, Domestic Violence\/Abuse, Mental Health and Environmental air pollution through a systematic search of the literature. The COVID-19 global lockdown was initiated to stem the spread of the virus and \u2018flatten the curve\u2019 of the pandemic. However, the impact of the lockdown has had far-reaching effects in different strata of life, including; changes in the accessibility and structure of education delivery to students, food insecurity as a result of unavailability and fluctuation in prices, the depression of the global economy, increase in mental health challenges, wellbeing and quality of life amongst others. This review article highlights the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown across the globe. As the global lockdown is being lifted in a phased manner in various countries of the world, it is necessary to explore its impacts to understand its consequences comprehensively. This will guide future decisions that will be made in a possible future wave of the COVID-19 pandemic or other global disease outbreak.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00368504211019854","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,3]],"date-time":"2021-06-03T01:27:09Z","timestamp":1622683629000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":638,"title":["COVID-19 pandemic: A review of the global lockdown and its far-reaching effects"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"104","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3846-847X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helen","family":"Onyeaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian K","family":"Anumudu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zainab T","family":"Al-Sharify","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Engineering, College of Engineering, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esther","family":"Egele-Godswill","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of African Studies, University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Mbaegbu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of History, University of Jos, Jos, Plateau, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00368504211019854","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-020-03874-z"},{"key":"bibr2-00368504211019854","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30185-9"},{"key":"bibr3-00368504211019854","unstructured":"Organisation WH.
