1) The surviving individuals can be used as volunteers to donate blood for PLASMA THERAPY. The plasma of the blood contains antibodies. The blood of the donor can be used to extract antibodies, and then these antibodies can be made invitro in large amounts for to supply them to the patients. The COVID-19 patients who get artifical antibodies will be able to recover from the disease.
