For the composition of this study, scientific publications and pronouncements of health agencies in Portuguese and English, published until April 2021 were used. Discussion: Few drugs have shown any effect in fighting the pandemic. In the absence of specific medications or vaccines in sufficient quantity, the alternative to avoid the collapse of health systems, consisted of combining a policy of social isolation with the testing of the population. Final considerations: Despite the efforts of the scientific community, there is no specific treatment to block viral replication, there are drugs that help in the treatment of the symptoms of the disease. At the moment, when there is a growth in new cases and hospitalizations, only mass vaccination will have an impact in reducing deaths and hospitalizations in a short interval.
