Abstract
The manifestation of a novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19 or 2019-CoV) exert a serious threat to international health and economy. In the inexistence of medication for this virus, there is a quick need to find substitute ways of controlling the spread of disease. We performed internet searches here for all possible treatment methods associated to coronavirus infections and found that common treatments, particular treatments for coronavirus and antiviral treatments could be proficient in combating COVID-19. We confer that the nutritional status of each infected patient should be assessed before general treatment is administered. Furthermore, COVID-19 patients should be given convalescent plasma if it is attainable. In conclusion, if the infection is reckless, we recommend that all possible strategies be implemented for controlling the emerging COVID-19.
