Among these uncertainties many institutions have been looking for the new ray of hope in the form of new antiviral drugs and vaccines against COVID-19. The humanities had faced such types of pandemics in the past and won the battle against these. Humanity and disease have always existed side by side15. Various pandemics e.g. influenza, plague, cholera and other infectious diseases have terrified the human from time to time but every time they have survived, won the battle, learnt a lesson and become better, stronger and creative. Until we get effective antiviral drugs and vaccines against COVID-19, the team PSM (Physical distancing, Sanitization of hands, equipment, surfaces, Masks) will work constantly against the COVID-19 and will play key role in stopping the transmission.
