Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infection caused by

Severe Corona Virus Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which
first appeared in Wuhan (China) in December 2019 spread rapidly throughout
the world (Zhu, et al., 2019). The epidemic attracted attention international
community and declared as global pandemic by the World Health
Organization (WHO) on March 11 2020 (WHO, 2021). Common symptoms in
infected patients COVID-19 is fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, and
headaches (CDC, 2020). So far Of these, no treatment has been proven to be
effective against COVID-19 and broad efforts are being devoted to vaccine
development safe (WHO, 2021). Therefore, society should follow
recommendations to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2, including
maintaining distance social, wear a mask and always take care hand hygiene
(Singhal, 2020). During the pandemic, most people rely on pharmacies to get
COVID-19 prevention drugs and products adequate (e.g. masks, antiseptic-
based alcohol). Pharmacies must keep products in stock appropriate pharmacy
to meet demand, as suggested in "Information and interim guidelines for
pharmacists and the pharmacy workforce" for the COVID-19 outbreak (IPF,
2020). The pharmacy management team must ensure these supplies as a
priority when preparing for and during the pandemic and actively adjust
according to the characteristics COVID-19 pandemic and related patient needs
during the quarantine period at home (Zheng, et al., 2020). During a
pandemic, medication is possible Delivered late and in short supply due to
logistical disruptions and disruptions production. Pharmacists must carry out
supervision active and create an early warning mechanism to address drug
shortages appropriately time (Fox and McLaughlin, 2018). Pharmacist should
pay attention to potential drug shortages OTC. This is very important because
it happened increased purchasing of OTC drugs in the community to treat
symptoms of illness (fever, cough and shortness of breath) from health care
advice professionals and public bodies (Shi, et al., 2020). To overcome this
problem Pharmacy departments are advised to do: (1) establishing a drug
supply scheme based on treatment guidelines, (2) implementation of
procurement online medication, (3) medication management donations, (4)
environmental management (Zheng, et al., 2020; Fox and McLaughlin, 2018;
Shi, et al., 2020). During the pandemic, personnel who Medical transmission
is the backbone in pandemic prevention and line providers Firstly, infection
control is covered heavy workload, high risk of exposure infections and work
pressures that have never happened before happened before (Wu, et al., 2020;
Lu, et al., 2020). As a health professional, pharmacists can play a key role
during the pandemic, interact directly with community (Hedima, et al., 2020),
continue to care for them patients with chronic diseases (Bhat, et al., 2020;
Kretchy, et al., 2020), working in a pharmacy hospital and provide care for
COVID-19 patients (Song, et al., 2020). Besides that that, they can provide
information that can be relied on to prevent, detect, treat and manage
coronavirus infections (ITF, 2020; Khan, et al., 2020). As a result, several
emerging challenges and innovative strategies adopted by pharmacists to
overcome this (Lia, et al,. 2020). Therefore, this review aims to describe

2020). Pharmacists must master related matters with patients, such as patient
