Abstract

Following the unprecedented global Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, multiple medical countermeasures ramped up to combat the virus and contain the spread of the pandemic. Despite continued uncertainty and a lack of clarity about the COVID-19, researchers have made tremendous strides in the development of prevention and treatment strategies. In this article, we focus on the use of convalescent plasma as therapeutic approach against COVID-19 infection.
