The algorithm is timely, with multiple countries worldwide declaring repeat surges in SARS‑CoV‑2 infections following the easing of lockdown measures. Its flowchart assimilates key effective interventions in a visual manner that will assist healthcare workers to manage COVID-19 disease algorithmically, and policymakers to suppress further SARS‑CoV‑2 waves. Importantly, we include the innovative use of topical p‑menthane‑3,8‑diol spray by the British Army for COVID-19 Support Force personnel, which in light of its coronavirucidal properties, deserves wider dissemination. This algorithm has the potential to be updated as numerous studies are concluded globallyhttp://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/view/2666http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/download/2666/717718507
