Summary:
Ozone (O3) therapy was used before for treating various
viral infections like hepatitis B, human immune deficiency virus (HIV), and Ebola viruses. O3 also can manage hypoxia and
increase tissue oxygenation, besides its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties which may have an important role

management of COVID-19 disease.
