Nanomaterials have excellent potential in dealing with range of serious health problems including viral infections. However, present pandemic situation of COVID-19 have become worsen due to unavailability of effective antiviral drug and approved vaccine. Since, positive case count continues to climb at fast pace, availability of ICUs has been under huge pressure in countries like India. Hence, more efforts must be devoted to limit the virus spread. Effectiveness of preventive procedures like mask, hand sanitizer, surface disinfectants and coatings entirely depend on anti-viral efficacy of the formulation. Specifically, this review informs about research reported on various nanomaterials for preventive measures.
