CHEMISTRY BEHIND COVID-19

‘What is the role of chemistry in the
crisis we face today, the pandemic:
COVID-19?’
On March 11, 2020, World Health
Organization declared COVID-19 outbreak a
pandemic one. This means that more and more
countries are now and will be experiencing
clusters of cases or community transmissions of
this viral virus. According to the world meter
site, over 500, 000 confirmed cases, 24,000
deaths, and 120,000 recovered all over the
world have already recorded as of today. But,
the saddest thing is that, there is no cure to this
disease yet, and many scientists and chemists
are still on the process of finding the solution to
this crisis.

highly contagious, especially to those old-aged
and has low immunity. This explains why
several countries are now in the state of
lockdown and under home and community
quarantine. We cannot just put those
preventive measurements into nonsense,
because it is objectively tested and verified
through numerous experiments and trials.
Though there may be many promising targets
for this pandemic virus, more laboratories and
clinical evidence still should be explored with
the help of every branch of Chemistry.

As a concerned citizen of your country,

have you ever wondered how professionals
found out the reason why this virus is said to be
contagious? And how they came up with the
proper diagnosis and medication to a patient
showing symptoms of this pandemic? Aside
