Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) corona virus (SARS-CoV) is
a novel virus that caused the first major pandemic of the new
millennium. The disease it causes has been named coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19). A flare-up of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19)
contamination started in Wuhan, the capital of focal China's Hubei area.
As of 13 May 2020, a total of 4,170,424 confirmed cases of COVID-19
(with 287,399 deaths) have been reported in more than 210 affected
countries worldwide.Till date, no confirmed or approved treatment and
vaccination is available and hence the treatment is essentially supportive
and symptomatic. Some previous viral drugs are in clinical trial for
treatment of COVID-19. Until proper treatment and vaccine develops,
we must rely exclusively on various control and prevention measures to
prevent this new disease from becoming a pandemic
