Novel corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic: current status and possible strategies for detection and treatment of the disease.

This report was constructed by following a systematic literature search of bibliographic databases of published reports of relevance until 1st September 2020. EXPERT OPINION: Currently, the countries are opening businesses despite a spike in the number of COVID-19 cases. The pharmaceutical industries are developing clinical diagnostic kits, medicines, and vaccines. They target different approaches, including repurposing the already approved diagnosis and treatment options for similar CoVs. At present, over ~200 vaccine candidates are being developed against COVID-19. Future research may unravel the genetic variations or polymorphisms that dictate these differences in susceptibilities to the disease. PMID: 33043740 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
