Abstract

The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has presented unmatched challenges to the healthcare systems in almost every country around the world. Currently, there are no established effective vaccines or therapeutic agents against the virus. Present clinical management includes infection prevention and control process and supportive care including supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilator support. It is proposed this is likely the zoonotic beginning of COVID-19. Individual to-individual transmission of COVID-19 contamination prompted the separation of patients that were accordingly managed an assortment of medicines.
