Abstract

SARS-CoV-2, a new virus from the coronavirus family, was first identified in December 2019. SARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 is called COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019). The first cases of disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 were reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Presumably, these patients became infected at a live animal market in the city. Due to the global spread of SARS-CoV-2, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Pharmacy is a profession that combines medical sciences with chemistry to ensure safe and effective drug delivery. The pharmacist profession includes many traditional activities - the production and dispensing of drugs, as well as many new activities related to patient care. Pharmacists are drug therapy experts who are valuable members of the healthcare team as they optimize the use of medications and ensure that patients benefit from drug therapy. Pharmacies play an important role in public health by raising awareness of the importance of respite care for patients infected with covid.
