Abstract

The novel SARS-coV-2 is a potential threat and health hazard mostly for people already suffering from pulmonary\ninfections such as lung cancer, any autoimmune disorders, etc. This poses a threat in every phase of the infection.\nTreatment with some antiviral agents such as remdesivir may prove to be useful but their increased level of toxicity makes them quite\nunfavourable. Use of drugs like doxycycline which have gone through the process of providing timely treatment and better results in diseases such\nas chikungunya and dengue, than resorting to only anti-viral drugs, has proven to be more helpful
