Abstract

The 2019 coronavirus pandemic disease has spread globally. SARS-CoV-2 species in the first and second time waves and new species of Omicron show symptoms in the third wave of COVID-19 worldwide. The first patients were found in Wuhan, China. Due to COVID-19, the main highly infected countries are the U.S. China, European countries, and also India. The SARS-CoV-2 species are betacoronavirus infections that spread from person to person and another object. The COVID-19 SARS species (RNA virus) is majorly infected in the lungs. Some vaccines and some drugs are provided worldwide, but these vaccines are not proper treatment for COVID-19. These vaccines boost immunity and provide relief from the symptoms of COVID-19, but they are not a proper treatment. Antimalarial drugs, antiviral drugs, monoclonal antibodies, and antibiotics are used in the current treatment to stop mechanisms like fusion entry and replication. Identification of COVID-19 through symptoms and properly identified by RT-PCR Prevention and treatment of COVID-19 disease is a promising new research area for pharma companies to develop novel therapeutic agents' inhibition for COVID-19 pathological targets.
