Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Coronaviruses are a type of virus that can infect humans and cause respiratory illnesses. Because of the crown-like spikes on the virus's surface, they're known as "corona." Coronaviruses that cause sickness in humans include SARS, MEERS, and the common cold. The antiviral medication remdesivir (Veklury) has been approved by the FDA to treat COVID-19 in hospitalized adults and children aged 12 and up. Remdesivir may be administered for COVID-19 patients who require supplementary oxygen or are at a higher risk of serious disease. It's injected into the skin with a needle (intravenously). A vaccine can help you avoid contracting the COVID-19 virus or keep you from becoming extremely ill if you do contract it.

COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which enters the body by the mouth, nose, or eyes (directly from the airborne droplets or from the transfer of the virus from your hands to your face). The mucus membrane in the back of your throat and the rear of your nasal passages are where it goes next. It clings to the cells in the area, multiplies, and spreads into the lung tissue. The virus can then spread to other tissues in the body.
