Snippet: In order to curve the ongoing trend of the COVID-19 pandemic and save more lives, effective treatments against COVID-19 are urgently needed. Comparing to developing new drugs, which may take too much time, it's more efficient and cost-effective to repurpose existing drugs in the treatment of COVID-19.

Document: In order to curve the ongoing trend of the COVID-19 pandemic and save more lives, effective treatments against COVID-19 are urgently needed. Comparing to developing new drugs, which may take too much time, it's more efficient and cost-effective to repurpose existing drugs in the treatment of COVID-19. Fortunately, some of the shared features of COVID-19 and other well-known diseases make it possible to use old strategies to combat this new challenge. In this paper, we reviewed various possible strategies of drug repurposing in the treatment of COVID-19 and explored the possible scientific mechanisms behind each strategy.
