Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has gripped the entire world in a medical emergency, spreading at a phenomenal rate, affecting even the most developed nations and challenging medical care infrastructure. With the precautions of social distancing and its enforcement through lockdowns, authorities have managed to buy time to flatten the curve. However, without any proven cure at hand, researchers are exploring varied approaches to treat the infected people. In this review, authors discuss the multilayered approach taken up to combat this deadly pandemic. The authors shall summarize the hospital setups, the frontline worker's struggles, the symptoms and their manifestations, preventive measures and also the current treatment approaches.
