Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a global public health problem The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is now sweeping the globe, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has changed to allow human-to-human transmission. Fever, dry cough, tiredness, severe pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, and mortality are all symptoms of infection. COVID-19 causes a systemic inflammatory reaction, also known as cytokine release syndrome, which damages the immune system. COVID-19 patients have a high level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in their bodies. There are presently no anti-SARS-CoV-2 virus medicines or vaccinations available. COVID-19 affects the aged disproportionately, both directly and indirectly a multitude of age-related comorbidities. Nutrition is undeniably important in maintaining excellent health. Vitamin C is an antiviral agent because it boosts immunity. Vitamin C treatment improved the survival rate of COVID-19 patients by reducing the immune response's excessive activation. Vitamin C stimulates the production of antiviral cytokines and free radicals, lowering viral output. Excessive inflammatory responses and immune cell hyperactivation are also reduced. The importance and role of vitamin C in the management of covid-19 have been covered in this article.
