Abstract

The end of 2019 was marked by the emergence of a new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which has killed more than 240,000 people around the world so far. Several clinical studies are being performed to test possible drugs in response to the COVID-19 outbreak; however, there is still no treatment that is completely effective. Our goal in this paper is to bring together the results of main studies carried out with different drugs in order to help spread the knowledge about possible treatments for COVID-19 that have been suggested so far.
