Abstract

In 2019, human race again came across a highly transmittable and pathogenic viral infection viz. COVID-19 and along with its pandemic nature, caused severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and owes its emergence from the local seafood market of Wuhan city, China. Corona virus is currently prevalent all over the world wherein it caused infection in more than 29,599,29 individuals worldwide with mortality rate nearby 6.84% in approximately 213 countries within a short span of time and the infection due to this virus is still on a higher verge. The data showed that the transmission rate of COVID-19 is higher than the previous viral infections, particularly because of changes in genetic recombination at S protein in the RBD region. Till now there is no approved treatment available against COVID-19 infection and has been observed for human to human transfer widely. The present review summarizes the etiology, transmission, epidemiology, possible approaches for the treatment of COVID-19 and Clinical trials.
