ABSTRACT
In December 2019, a single-stranded RNA genome based viral disease spotted in Wuhan, China i.e., Corona virus disease, also known as (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) is a worldwide issued declared by the World Health Organisation as a pandemic. Coronavirus mortality rates are less as compared to earlier severe acute respiratory syndrome outburst, where the prevalence of the virus and its severity are frightening. Nanotechnology helps in the expansion of nanobiosensors and nanoimaging techniques which were used in prior detection, having competence to amplify signals and helps in other diagnostic devices. For rapid diagnosis of corona virus polymeric, inorganic self-assembling materials and peptide-based nanoparticles are optimistic device for combating COVID-19. In addition, to generate new vaccines nanoparticles can act as carriers of antigens or as reactant for its development. Moreover, nanotechnology should be influentially treated to combat this virus infection. This review elaborates the role of nanotechnology to combat coronavirus infection by diagnosis;treatment and prevention strategies by nanomedicines.
