Abstract
COVID-19 may manifest with a diverse clinical spectrum from being asymptomatic to clinical conditions characterized by respiratory failure. The treatment of the illness is for the most part supportive as oxygen supplementation, non-invasive ventilation and in extreme cases, mechanical ventilation. No effective antiviral drugs or vaccine against the disease is available at the moment. Isolation, social distancing, remaining indoors, maintaining a strategic distance from mass get-togethers are the basic, practical, affordable methods for battling the spread of the infection which India is following and would like to have a great result. There is a great deal of debate about the use of mask and the issue has been deliberated upon. Non pharmacological measures like hand cleanliness, utilization of soap and water to wash hands, utilization of hand sanitizer, the psychological impacts of the lock-down and the options being explored for treatment of this infection have been discussed in this review study from an Indian perspective.Keywords
