Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has conceived a monstrous threat among the population. Here we portray some of the recent studies on COVID-19 which may supply bases for future research. This review brings a spotlight on the mode of transmission, pathophysiology, genetic structure, mutants of SARS-CoV-2, progress on the vaccination and some recent peculiar disguisable facts about the novel coronavirus 2019. Major scrutiny has been prepared on the new strains of SARS-CoV-2 and also a critical brief review on the ongoing vaccine research strategy and vaccine progress has been added further to that. Being in research this collection of data could have some advantageous response in the development of vaccines and understanding the actual behavior of SARS-CoV-2 in the research territory.
