Background: According to the current scenario with millions of deaths worldwide, the outbreak of COVID-19 has created global havoc. The vast spreading of COVID-19 has already challenged the healthcare system and economy of the world. Every country is now putting the best efforts to develop its standards, strategies, and policies to fight against this pandemic. Therefore, a huge amount of research grants is allocated for the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 globally.

Objective: Scientists/researchers around the world are working in different fields, i.e., biological, physical, and chemical sciences, and have collaborated for an effective outcome to combat this pandemic. In light of the above-mentioned challenges, the researchers of the nanotechnology community can also contribute significantly in this direction.

Results: As team members of the nanotechnology community, we suggest various research targets that can be designed/improved, optimized, and developed by nanotechnologists. These research targets include Point-of-care diagnostics (POCD), Surveillance and monitoring, Therapeutics, Vaccine development, Improving existing drugs with potential therapeutic applications, Developing antiviral nanocoating/antimicrobial spray-based coating for PPE, Magnetic nanoparticles and viral RNA (Ribonucleic acid), and Rapid detection kits.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that multiple areas, such as the development of nano-biosensor based diagnostic technology (capable to produce fast and accurate results), development of nanoencapsulated drugs/vaccines or other efficient systems, testing/improving existing drugs with potential therapeutic applications, developing antiviral nanocoating/antimicrobial spray-based coating for PPE, etc., need immediate attention.

背景：根据当前全球数百万人死亡的情况，COVID-19 的爆发造成了全球性破坏。COVID-19 的广泛传播已经对世界的医疗保健系统和经济构成了挑战。现在，每个国家都在尽最大努力制定其标准、战略和政策，以对抗这种流行病。因此，在全球范围内分配了大量的研究经费用于 COVID-19 的诊断和治疗。

目标：世界各地的科学家/研究人员正在不同领域工作，即生物、物理和化学科学，并为抗击这一流行病取得有效成果而合作。鉴于上述挑战，纳米技术界的研究人员也可以在这个方向上做出重大贡献。

结果：作为纳米技术社区的团队成员，我们建议纳米技术专家可以设计/改进、优化和开发各种研究目标。这些研究目标包括即时诊断 (POCD)、监视和监测、治疗学、疫苗开发、改进具有潜在治疗应用的现有药物、开发用于 PPE、磁性纳米粒子和病毒 RNA（核糖核酸）的抗病毒纳米涂层/抗菌喷雾涂层酸）和快速检测试剂盒。

结论：可以得出结论，多个领域，例如基于纳米生物传感器的诊断技术的发展（能够产生快速准确的结果），纳米封装药物/疫苗或其他有效系统的开发，测试/改进具有潜在治疗效果的现有药物应用，开发用于 PPE 的抗病毒纳米涂层/抗菌喷涂涂层等，需要立即关注。
