COVID-19 scenario analysis:
The outbreak of the coronavirus-2 disease has led to a global lockout situation causing economic crisis in various sectors. However, the government is shaking hands with the private and semi-private organizations to assist in managing the COVID-19 patients. Currently there is no ideal medication for the treatment of COVID-19. However, one of the drugs namely Hydrochloroquine used for the treatment of malaria is now used for the treatment of coronavirus-2 and is shown to be quite effective against it. Furthermore, the government has declared social distancing and various hospitals are shut leading to the reduction of the surgical procedures to avoid the spread of the hospital acquired diseases. The increase in the number of patients affected due to the virus is leading to the problematic situation where the beds available are lesser. The healthcare professionals are facing a hard task as the coronavirus spreads easily. Additionally, once affected by the virus, it doesn’t have a cure unless the immunity is playing its part. The pharmaceutical industry and the biotechnology industry is anticipated to have lucrative growth due to the steep rise in the demand for the R&D of the drugs required for the therapy of COVID-19 patients.
