COVID-19 is a highly contagious and infectious disease, spreading rapidly worldwide. Its high spread rate has turned it into public stigma. The current study is focusing on its treatment and control strategies on the basis of the facts and figs obtained from previous studies. Supplementation of infected person with minerals and vitamin would be very beneficial for faster recovery like in any other acute viral infection. Blood of a recovered person in any outbreak is very precious because it is containing high levels of neutralizing antibodies, memory T and B cells population. Both serum and buffy coat fractions of the blood will helpful for treatment as well as prophylaxis. The S proteins (spike) of SARS CoV 2 and SARS CoV 1 have 70% similarity so the vaccine available for SARS would also be effective for COVID-19. Besides this, genome of SARS CoV 2 has been sequenced successfully and it is quite easy for the scientists to prepare DNA based vaccines and peptide-based subunit vaccines targeting the S protein of the virus. To control the spread of COVID-19, various disinfectant and antiseptics are very useful. The virus is also susceptible to heat, low pH and UV light so hot climatic conditions are also lethal to this virus.
