Abstract
A novel coronavirus (COVID-19 virus) outbreak has caused a global pandemic resulting in huge number of infections and
thousands of deaths worldwide. The present review is an effort to establish the preventive measures based on biodegradability as well
as adsorption of specific part of such viruses during clay-protein interactions in contact with soil surface. Even the biodegradability
of many organic compounds and molecules is altered and the activity of enzymes is adversely affected upon their adsorption to the
soil mineral surfaces and clays. Viruses have in general interconnection and interdependence within aboveground and underground
biodiversity covering aerosol (gas), water (liquid) and soil or sediment (solid) and are subject to undergo biodegradation following
the biogeochemical cycling. Available reports suggest that Covid-19 is by and large associated to certain RNA-viruses that may
undergo structural distortion if they fall in direct contact with colloidal fraction of soil minerals preferably montmorillonite or
bentonite as in Maharastra and other parts of India. Either aerosols or exposed surface soils in rural areas would delay transmission
as well as multiplication of COVID-19. This review highlights on relevance of soil based natural preventive measures to slowdown
the spread of COVID-19 following certain yardsticks. Such exploratory approach may help to eradicate such global pandemic.
