Evaluation of the recommended treatment and preventive measures of COVID-19

Year 2020, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 125 - 139, 31.10.2020

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that is continuing to spread around the world threatens the human health and has an impact on global economic crisis.
As of 26th July 2020, no dedicated FDA-approved treatment and vaccine strategies have been confirmed for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 patients. Many ongoing clinical trials are in progress, and varieties of possible treatments are being tested around the globe.
As a vital part of the healthcare system, doctors, nurses and pharmacists play an important role in providing guidelines of protection to the public not only to prevent and control the infection but also to develop treatment strategies and discover vaccine during the pandemic. Several countries around the world are in rush to discover a new and safe therapy and vaccine for novel coronavirus.
This review highlights current knowledge about the possible therapies, their mechanisms, safety considerations based on interventional trials, clinical data of in vitro studies and a patient response.
