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.
