New treatment strategies include research to find new molecul candidates for COVID-19 treatment, as well as the repositioning of existing medicinal products. Recently, medicinal plants have been actively studied as potential candidates for COVID-19 treatment, showing high levels of antiviral activity and anti-inflammatory activity.
