In the recent past, epidemics and pandemics caused by viral infections have had
extraordinary effects on human life, leading to severe social and financial
challenges. One such event related to the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has
already taken more than 917,417 lives globally (as of September 13, 2020). The
nosocomial route of viral transmission has also been playing a significant role
in the community spreading of viruses. Unfortunately, none of the existing
strategies are apt for preventing the spread of viral infections. In order to
contain the viral transmission, the principal target would be to stop the virus
from reaching the otherwise healthy individuals. Nanomaterials, due to its unique
physical and chemical properties, have been used to develop novel antiviral
agents. In this review, we have discussed several nanotechnological strategies
that can be used as an antiviral coating to inhibit viral transmission by
preventing viral entry into the host cells.
