Popis: Highlights • Coronavirus pandemic has created a global alarming situation. • SARS-CoV shares sequence homology with bats, therefore, considered as origin. • Scientists are burning midnight's oil to discover drug or vaccine against this deleterious virus. • Medicinal plants should be explored to find a cure for this disease. • Phyto-constituents are ubiquitously synthesised in plants, effective against SARS-CoV-2. • Clinical trials for herbal formulations are promoted to find drug or vaccine. • Other armours like physical fitness, balanced diet are promoted for boosting immunity.
Current scenario depicts that world has been clenched by COVID-19 pandemic. Inevitably, public health and safety measures could be undertaken in order to dwindle the infection threat and mortality. Moreover, to overcome the global menace and drawing out world from moribund stage, there is an exigency for social distancing and quarantines. Since December, 2019, coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) have came into existence and up till now world is still in the state of shock.At this point of time, COVID-19 has entered perilous phase, creating havoc among individuals, and this has been directly implied due to enhanced globalisation and ability of the virus to acclimatize at all conditions. The unabated transmission is due to lack of drugs, vaccines and therapeutics against this viral outbreak. But research is still underway to formulate the vaccines or drugs by this means, as scientific communities are continuously working to unravel the pharmacologically active compounds that might offer a new insight for curbing infections and pandemics. Therefore, the topical COVID-19 situation highlights an immediate need for effective therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2. Towards this effort, the present review discusses the vital concepts related to COVID-19, in terms of its origin, transmission, clinical aspects and diagnosis. However, here, we have formulated the novel concept hitherto, ancient means of traditional medicines or herbal plants to beat this pandemic.
