Brief Summary   Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a newly emergent coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, that was first recognized in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. While most people with COVID-19 develop mild or uncomplicated illness, approximately 14% develop severe disease requiring hospitalization and oxygen support and 5% require admission to an intensive care unit. At present, there is limited evidence from randomized clinical trials to support any vaccines or pharmacological treatments from conventional medicine for COVID-19According to Siddha system of medicine, the symptoms and signs of COVID-19 are identified as the aggravation of Iyam and which later associated with other Uyir thathukkal Vali and Azhal and expressed as Thontham (Mukkutram) leads to sanni. In this context, one of the classical formulations from Siddha system of medicine is Kabasura kudineer (KSK) consists of 15 herbals ingredients which individually has anti-viral activity has been recommended for the prophylaxis and management of COVID 19.  Vitamin c and zinc supplementation(CZ) is being prescribed for the COVID19 positive asymptomatic patients admitted in isolation ward. The role of CZ in the management of COVID19 is still not clear. Therefore, study will compare the effect of KSK and CZ in terms of negative conversion of SARS CoV- 2 infection.
