Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The COVID-19, a pandemic as declare by WHO1, has a devastating impact on health and economic worldwide2. Literature suggests that acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) develops over 20% of the infected individuals with Coivd-pneumonia3 along with other symptoms like fever followed by cough and dyspnea as well as chest pain in severe cases4.
