Abstract: 
In twenty first century corona virus is considered as a big disaster. According to World Health Organization (WHO) the COVID 19 is becoming a pandemic in this month of March and now affected 203 countries. Scientists are endeavoring to discover drugs for its efficacious treatment. Multiple drug trails are going world-wild since there are no vaccines for this disease. Since there are no vaccines for this disease the best way to combat this virus is by social distancing of the host. In this regards we conduct a systematic review with a drug that can prevent a corona infection for the time being like Chloroquine, Glucocorticoids, Tocilizumab, Lopinavir/ritonavir, Corticosteroids, Ribavirin +/- interferon, Oseltamivir and baloxavir, Melatonin, Teicoplanin and other glycopeptides, Monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies and other therapies.
