Abstract: The need that everyone weara mask, regular hand-washing and hand-sanitizing, remote work, social isolation,
avoiding crowds, and the cancellation of public events have all been used to limit the spread of the infection and minimize
death.To visualize patterns before and after the introduction of the vaccination, rates of reported COVID-19 cases, ED visits,
hospitalizations, and fatalities are presented for September 6, 2020–May 1, 2021. At the Welcome Sanger Institute, where
sequencing is being done, several samples have been analyzed. According to Public Health England's criteria of variations based
on mutations, whole-genome sequences are assigned.SARS-CoV-2 is made up of four main structural glycoproteins: the spike
(S), membrane (M), envelope (E), and nucleocapsid (N). The M, E, and N proteins are crucial for viral particle assembly and
release, whereas the S protein is in charge of viral binding and entry into host cells. Both hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine
affect viral replication in addition to suppressing cytokine production. It's a good idea to have a backup plan in case the backup
plan doesn't work.
Keywords: SARS-CoV-2, social isolation, hydroxychloroquine, nucleocapsid.
I. INTRODUCTION
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19), a pandemic illness, was first identified in December 2019 in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
Since then, it has spread quickly throughout the globe.SARS‐CoV‐2 is a betacoronavirus similar to severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS) virus and utilizes the same receptor as the angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 for cell entry. [1] SARS-CoV2 fatal
outcomes are linked to an overactive immune reaction. There are numerous instances where the adult respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) brought on by SARS illnesses is significantly influenced by inflammatory cytokines. In Wuhan, China, in December 2019,
a brand-new coronavirus strain appeared.
This new coronavirus was designated a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)" by the World Health
Organization (WHO) on January 31, 2020.Since the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-
2) began, necessary steps have been taken to stop the spread of the virus and reduce mortality, including the requirement that
everyone wear a mask, consistent hand-washing and hand-sanitizing, remote work, social withdrawal, avoiding crowds, and the
cancellation of public events.China was the first nation to adopt a regional lockdown of cities in Hubei province as a control
measure.
With a population of over 14 million, Wuhan is the largest metropolis in Hubei province and was placed under a 76-day lockdown.
Later, identical lockdowns were used in Spain, Russia, India, the Philippines, Italy (provinces of Lombardy and Veneto), Turkey,
and other nations. Studies have revealed that certain tactics have been successful in halting the disease's growth and lowering
incidence and mortality rates.[2]After the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine received Emergency Use Authorization from the
Food and Drug Administration, the United States launched a national vaccination programme on December 14, 2020. The Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) advised giving priority to long-term care facility residents and health care employees
in the early stages of the vaccination programme, then essential workers and people at risk for serious illness, including adults over
65. CDC examined the COVID-19 vaccination age spread between December 14, 2020, and May 1, 2021. Rates of reported
COVID-19 cases, ED visits, hospitalisations, and deaths by age group are given for September 6, 2020–May 1, 2021, to help
visualise trends before and after the introduction of the vaccine. [3] The CDC received daily information from a variety of sources
about COVID-19 vaccine doses given in the United States, including partial and complete vaccination. Daily COVID-19 case data,
as reported by the jurisdictional health department, were acquired from the CDC's case-based surveillance system.[4]

II. BACKGROUND
The Berlin definition for the diagnosis of ARDS was fulfilled by all patients, who were all older than 18 years of age.8 This research
included all COVID-19-induced ARDS patients who met these requirements. Exclusion factors included a history of serious chronic
respiratory disease, HIV infection, neoplastic diseases, inflammatory diseases, active bleeding, chronic renal and hepatic
impairment, recent myocardial infraction, or coronary artery bypass transplant.[5]
B. Variant of Covid
The three groups of SARS-CoV-2 variants have been established by the USA government's interagency. [8]The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) will update the variant strains in the various classes as necessary because the variant status may
occasionally be escalated or deescalated based on scientific proof. [9] The classes are: variant of interest, variant of worry, and
variant of significant consequence, according to the report from April 21, 2021. [10]
C. Variant of Interest
This class contains variations with particular markers linked to alterations in receptor binding, decreased antibody neutralization
against prior infection or vaccination, decreased treatment efficacy, possible diagnostic impact, or anticipated rise in disease severity
transmissibility. In order to assess the disease's severity, risk of reinfection, and immunity to vaccination, this class also needs
increased sequence surveillance, laboratory characterization, and epidemiological analysis. [11]
D. Variant of Concern
This group of variants includes those that have shown high disease transmissibility, increased disease severity, such as
hospitalisations and fatalities, a striking decline in antibody neutralisation, reduced treatment efficacy, and ineffective diagnostic
detection. Additionally, this class necessitates greater testing kit development, vaccine efficacy research, and treatment efficacy
testing to control spread. The USA currently lists the following types as being of concern: B.1.1.7, P.1, B.1.351, B.1.427, and
B.1.429.The variants in this class, like the variant of interest class, share the D614G mutation (an aspartic acid to glycine shift at the
amino acid position), which distributes more quickly than variants without the mutation. [12]

Chloroquine, nafamostate, griffithsine, among others, can block endosome maturation, while hydroxychloroquine, apilimod,
colchicine, and vinorelbine can prevent the release of viral genomes, as well as virus replication, transcription, and protein
translation. (e.g., bananin, 5-hydroxychromone, remdesivir, favipiravir, ribavirin).Nucleotide analog Remdesivir, a newly developed
novel antiviral drug, has demonstrated strong efficacy in treating Marburg and Ebola virus infections.[23]
IV. FAVIPIRAVIR
Favipiravir is an antiviral medication of the pyrazine family that was primarily utilized in Japan to treat influenza. It functions by
preventing the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) enzymes, a protein essential for the transcription and replication of virus
genomes, from doing their job. [24] A small molecule medication of the aminoquinoline family called chloroquine is used to treat
malaria. This drug possibly can have a broad spectrum of antiviral action on all steps of the viral entry and replication [25]

COVID-19 is unusual in that patients over 60 years old have disproportionately higher case mortality rates than either young adults
or children. The greatest mortality rates, at 14.8%, were observed in people over the age of 80. These results were brought out in
one of the largest data analyses performed in China involving 72,314 patient records. [36] The peak viraemia of COVID-19 occurs
prior to the onset of symptoms, with an incubation phase of 1 to 14 days (mean duration of 5-7 days). This emphasizes the
transmission potential of patients who are silent or barely symptomatic. To the best of our understanding, this is the first fairly
sizable series on the role of plasmapharesis in autoimmune encephalitis linked to COVID-19. All of the patients in this study were
critically ill, had severe ARDS, and either lost consciousness during the weaning phase or displayed severe agitation. [37] Their
persistently elevated inflammatory markers despite recovery from pulmonary or other organ pathologies was another characteristic
they shared. On MRI, we discovered bilateral cerebral inflammation consistent with meningoencephalitis as well as elevated
amounts of inflammatory acute-phase reactants like ferritin, fibrinogen, CRP, and IL-6 in the sera. No indication of a COVID-19 or
other active CNS illness was found. [38] With the exception of Case 3, patients began to improve shortly after a sequential
plasmapheresis was begun, and Cases 1, 2, 4, and 6 were soon transferred from the ICU to a regular ward.The goal of the current
research was to determine how plasmapheresis affected the levels of cytokines and immune cells throughout the body in ARDS-
severe COVID-19 patients. In severely ill COVID-19 patients, therapeutic plasmapheresis decreased levels of excess pro-
inflammatory cytokines, liver function, and acute phase proteins, all of which could support vital organ function. [38] Additionally,
plasmapheresis increased lymphocyte subset counts and oxygenation state. Furthermore, plasmapheresis was performed on every
patient on NIPPV who survived. [39] These findings highlight the necessity of conducting controlled research on plasmapheresis in
patients with severe COVID-19 and ARDS[40]. A wide variety of symptoms, including asymptomatic to acute respiratory failure,
multi-organ failure, and death due to cytokine storm and macrophage activation, define coronavirus disease[41].
VI. CONCLUSION
We conclused all that the drugs used in covid 19 were mainly antiviral drugs like Chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, Favipiravir. For
the prevention of covid 19 many of people used mask and sanitizer. After some timevaccines were discovered. Firstly, younger
generation were treated with vaccines. After that below than 18 years old generation were treated. In human body respiratory tract
were mainly affected by covid 19.
