Abstract
Novel coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) that emerged in late 2019 in Wuhan China had caused an unprecedented crisis in health and economy. In this scenario, innovative solutions become imperative, given the less availability of resources and an immediate need for healthcare, medical supplies and support. World has witnessed a rapid response against this disease since its onset. Such kind of rapid response was possible due to certain innovative approaches which assisted in timely tracing, diagnosing and treatment of COVID-19 patients. Utilization of innovative technologies for population screening, simple and advanced technologies for rapid and reliable diagnosis and nanotechnology for vaccine development are some of the important highlights to be mentioned. Collaborations within scientific community and production of an immense amount of knowledge have hardly been known to world before COVID-19 pandemic. This mini-review is mainly focused on scientific innovations and technologies that aided in responding against COVID-19 and will also highlight the importance of scientific collaborations and data availability during the COVID-19 pandemic.
