Summary

This review covers nanotechnology-based approaches for diagnosing, preventing, and treating SARS-CoV-2 infection during the COVID-19 pandemic, including nanoparticle-based diagnostic tests, drug delivery systems, and antiviral coatings. Nanotechnology platforms emerged as promising tools for rapid detection and therapeutic intervention.

Body Systems

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by highly-infectious virus namely severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in infection of millions of individuals and deaths across the world. The need of an hour is to find the innovative solution for diagnosis, prevention, and cure of the COVID-19 disease. Nanotechnology is emerging as one of the important tool for the same. In the present review we discuss the applications of nanotechnology-based approaches that are being implemented to speed up the development of diagnostic kits for SARS-CoV-2, development of personal protective equipments, and development of therapeutics of COVID-19 especially the vaccine development.
