Abstract
COVID-19, a type of infection that emerged in Wuhan, has become a pandemic af-fecting people worldwide and is rapidly spreading and evolving. Day by day, the confirmed cases and deaths are increasing many folds. SARS-CoV-2 is a novel virus; therefore, limited data are available to curb the disease. Epidemiological approaches, such as isolation, quaran-tine, social distancing, lockdown, and curfew, are being employed to halt the spread of the dis-ease. Individual and joint efforts all over the world are producing a wealth of data and information which are expected to produce therapeutic strategies against COVID-19. Current research focuses on the utilization of antiviral drugs, repurposing strategies, vaccine develop-ment, as well as basic to advanced research about the organism and the infection. The review focuses on its life cycle, targets, and possible therapeutic strategies, which can lead to further research and development of COVID-19 therapy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
