The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Academic Research: Short Review

Abstract

The pandemic Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in more than over 3 million confirmed cases and over 1,061,727 deaths and its impacts Changes the medical landscape on the daily basis in research activities among the researchers, students, and post graduate medical doctors are caught off- guard and they were forced to make a decision on ongoing research projects. Henceforth, immediate requirement for conducting academic research through meetings on several aspects on this current high pandemic situation   are needed. We have suggested and provided facilities in AVMC   to conduct the research platform related to molecular diagnostics aspects of COVID-19 by Zoom, Cisco, WebEx, YouTube & Facebook  live and also provided suggestions to researchers, clinicians,  to prevent and treat  from the  viral infection. Even though legal guidance from institutional organizations, the medical director and principal investigator are the ultimate responsible for the research coordinators for conducting, cancelling, postponing, rescheduling the research activities. Our review will come out to how to conduct the scientific meeting and carrying out the research ongoing projects during the pandemic situation.  Further, we discussed the need of personal hygiene, transit, general safety precautions for each participant during the research process.
