We have reviewed diagnostic tests such as serological detection, rapid antibody test, nucleic acid test, polymerase chain reaction test, high sophistication molecular-based laboratory testing (USA) and blood gas analyzer aiding. We have reviewed effective drug therapies and their results along with various drugs like Hydroxychloroquine in combination with azithromycin and other drugs like remdesivir, favipiravir, lopinavir and ritonavir tried individually.
