Currently, there is no FDA-approved, consistent treatment plan for COVID-19. Treatment depends on the severity of disease, the patient's ability to self-isolate, and the presence of other risk factors. Individuals with mild to moderate cases of COVID-19 are able to treat themselves at home without hospitalization or clinical care. If an individual is hospitalized, treatments will focus on managing the most common and severe COVID-19 complications. 

Therapeutic Treatment of COVID-19

Prophylactic treatment may be used to prevent COVID-19 infection, especially for high-risk individuals.

Drug Targets and Candidates of COVID-19

As we do not have a vaccine for the virus yet, preventive measures are very important and should be strictly followed. Some of the preventive measures are:
- wearing a face mask
- social distancing
- hand sanitisers
- hand washing
- surface sanitisers

Scientists are also researching on certain oral antiseptics that inactive the virus in the mouth, thereby preventing the spread of COVID-19.
