ABSTRACT

The novel corona virus outbroke in December 2019 which has affected more than 30 million people worldwide till date. Although a year has passed but it’s still a hot area of research. Many approaches like drug repurposing, nano formulations and different type of vaccines are being developed and tried by researchers to overcome this pandemic. In this review, we are focussing on epidemiology, pathogenesis, and various biologicals intricated in the treatment of the COVID-19. Simultaneously quoting on nanotechnology which is now becoming a cornerstone in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Several clinical trials (CTs) are going on to assess the safety and efficacy of various therapeutics. These clinical trials and additional new studies are expected to provide a therapeutic strategy soon.

Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; Nanotechnology; Biologicals; Clinical trials.
