Abstract
HYDER, Qurratulain and HAIDER, Khawaja Husnain. The ongoing battle against COVID-19. Iberoam J Med [online]. 2020, vol.2, n.4, pp.360-366. Epub Dec 25, 2023. ISSN 2695-5075. https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3987277.
After spillover from Wuhan (China) in December, 2019, SARS-CoV-2 related respiratory disease (COVID-19) has rapidly affected all countries. The pandemic has posed a serious threat to world health resources. At present, there is no recommended treatment or vaccine for SARS-CoV-2. However, various drug combinations are under trial. Reversion to general principles of prevention is the preferred strategy under such circumstances. We discuss the importance of wearing a face mask and present a cost-effective approach for long-term management of COVID-19.
