The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to global health emergencies and widespread lockdowns. Research is ongoing for antiviral therapies, vaccines, and natural remedies to combat the virus and its variants.
Area of Science:
- Virology
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
Background:
- The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global health emergency and pandemic.
- SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs via airborne pathways, leading to rapid global spread.
- Asymptomatic carriers pose diagnostic challenges, contributing to community transmission.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the international situation, risk factors, and protective measures for COVID-19.
- To highlight probable treatment options for the infected population.
- To provide information on current and future COVID-19 treatment strategies.
Main Methods:
- Review of international data on COVID-19.
- Analysis of risk factors and protective measures.
- Exploration of various therapeutic approaches including antiviral, immune-based, and natural remedies.
Main Results:
- COVID-19 spread rapidly, causing significant global impact and economic disruption.
- Research efforts focused on antiviral therapy, immune-based therapy, vaccination, and natural remedies.
- Virtual drug screening is being utilized for compound repurposing.
Conclusions:
- Exploration for specific COVID-19 drugs is actively underway globally.
- Virtual drug library screening aids in repurposing existing compounds.
- This review offers insights into current and future COVID-19 treatment strategies.
