Abstract: Since the onset of 2019, marked by a severe outbreak in Wuhan, China, the COVID-19 pandemic has become a significant global narrative. We are discussing SARS-CoV-2, the virus that initiated the pandemic. The situation has been exceedingly challenging for all individuals worldwide, resulting in a global health crisis. SARS-CoV-2, a beta coronavirus, is a single-stranded RNA virus characterized by a crown-like morphology and is closely associated with the SARS virus. This paper offers an extensive analysis of COVID-19 transmission, existing treatment modalities, and prospective therapeutic approaches. We examine the modes of virus transmission, including direct person-to-person contact and the inhalation of contaminants from various surfaces. We are currently examining how this virus instructs the body and the symptoms exhibited by an ill individual. The current therapy landscape, encompassing antivirals, immunomodulators, and supportive care, is clearly delineated. Additionally, we investigate prospective treatment options, encompassing vaccine development, gene editing technologies, and novel antiviral methodologies. This study seeks to summarize the present situation and significant advancements of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also emphasizing the necessity of ongoing investment in research and development to provide more effective therapeutic strategies to combat this global health problem. We will endeavor to narrate this story in a straightforward and lucid manner that is easily comprehensible to the audience.
