A Review on Prevention, Treatment and Potential Mechanism of Honey Against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

Abstract

In December 2019, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak originated in Wuhan City Hubei Province, China, swiftly spreading worldwide. This prompted efforts to find solutions for treating the associated symptoms and disease. While the intermediate source of origin and human transfer remains controversial, there is clear evidence of rapid human-to-human transmission. Globally, concerns about vaccine safety have led to some hesitancy, towards the unknown side effects tied to factors such as age, gender, and the specific vaccine received. This leads to the exploration of alternative treatments and preventive measure in mitigating this pandemic crisis.
