In every century of history, there are many new diseases emerged, which are not even cured by many developed countries. Today, despite of scientific development, new deadly pandemic diseases are caused by microorganisms. Hygiene is considered to be one of the best methods of avoiding such communicable diseases, especially viral diseases. Illness caused by SARS-CoV-2 was termed COVID-19 by the WHO, the acronym derived from "coronavirus disease 2019. The globe is living in the worst epidemic era, with the highest infection and mortality rate owing to COVID-19 reaching 6.89% (data up to March 2023). In recent years, nano biotechnology has become a promising and visible field of nanotechnology. Interestingly, nanotechnology is being used to cure many ailments and it has revolutionized many aspects of our lives. Several COVID-19 diagnostic approaches based on nanomaterial have been developed. The various metal NPs, it is highly anticipated that could be viable and economical alternatives for treating drug resistant in many deadly pandemic diseases in near future. This review focuses on an overview of nanotechnology's increasing involvement in the diagnosis, prevention, and therapy of COVID-19, also this review provides readers with an awareness and knowledge of importance of hygiene.
在历史的每一个世纪，都会出现许多新疾病，即使是许多发达国家也无法治愈。如今，尽管科学不断发展，但新的致命大流行疾病仍是由微生物引起的。卫生被认为是避免此类传染病，尤其是病毒性疾病的最佳方法之一。世界卫生组织将由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2引起的疾病命名为2019冠状病毒病，该首字母缩写词源自“2019年冠状病毒病”。全球正处于最严重的疫情时代，2019冠状病毒病的感染率和死亡率极高，截至2023年3月的数据显示死亡率达到6.89%。近年来，纳米生物技术已成为纳米技术中一个前景广阔且引人注目的领域。有趣的是，纳米技术正被用于治疗许多疾病，并且它已经彻底改变了我们生活的许多方面。已经开发出了几种基于纳米材料的2019冠状病毒病诊断方法。人们高度期待各种金属纳米颗粒在不久的将来能够成为治疗许多致命大流行疾病中耐药性问题的可行且经济的替代方案。本综述重点概述了纳米技术在2019冠状病毒病诊断、预防和治疗方面日益增加的参与度，同时本综述也让读者了解到卫生的重要性和相关知识。
