Diagnosis of this disease can consist of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Vaccines, drugs such as Remdesivir, plant extracts such as Curcuma longa have important roles for treating and preventing COVID-19.
Objectives: In this study, the author reports the progress in a study of COVID-19 focused on SARS-CoV-2, diagnosis of COVID-19, prevention and treatment of COVID-19 as objectives of this study.
Results: SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19. This disease has spread all over the world. Diagnosis tools of COVID-19 can include such as nanopore sequencing and RT-PCR. Vaccines can include such as Moderna, Pfizer, and Sinovak. Current promising drugs of COVID-19 are Curcuma longa (turmeric) and remdesivir. Other drugs may be chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, dexamethasone, and lopinavir/ritonavir. Turmeric can also prevent COVID-19. For treatment, it can be taken along with remdesiver or other drug such as hydroxychloroquine.
Conclusion: COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2. To detect this disease, RT-PCR, for instance, can be used. Vaccines are such as Pfizer product. Drugs of COVID-19 include Curcuma longa and remdesivir.
