Abstract

  In December 31, 2019, hospitals pronounced a cluster of instances with pneumonia of unknown motive in Wuhan, Hubei, China, attracting brilliant interest nationally and worldwide. The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 precipitated by means of the SARS-CoV-2 offers an unheard of venture to discover superb capsules for treatment. Given the speedy tempo of scientific discovery and medical statistics generated by means of the massive quantity of human beings unexpectedly contaminated by using SARS-CoV-2, clinicians want correct proof involving nice clinical remedies for this infection. This paper analysis the literature on all on hand records about the Treatments of COVID-19. Treatments, together with Antibodies, Vaccines, antiviral agents, convalescent plasma transfusion, corticosteroids, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, are mentioned in this article.

Keywords: Coronavirus Disease 2019; SARS-CoV-2; Vaccines; Treatment; Antibodies; Antiviral Agents; Crticosteroids; Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine
