Abstract
An outbreak of a new virus novel coronavirus (COVID-19 or 2019-CoV) infection has modeled significant extortions to the economy and international health. This virus affects the lower respiratory tract and manifests as pneumonia in humans. Despite rigorous global containment and quarantine efforts, the incidence of COVID-19 continues to rise, with 752,747 laboratory-confirmed cases and over 36,226 deaths worldwide. In the absence of any vaccine for this virus, there is an urgent need to find alternative methods to control the spread of disease. Here we have directed an online for all options for treating this coronavirus infection as well as some RNA virus infection. Further, we have also found that general treatments, coronavirus-specific treatments, and antiviral treatments should be useful in fighting COVID-19. We suggest some nutritional elements that can protect us from the infection of this virus. Also, we can use convalescent plasma to COVID-19 patients if it is available. In conclusion, we suggest some potential interventions to control the emerging COVID-19 if the infection is uncontrollable.
