Even after about 8 months, neither there is any decrease in its magnitude or in the spread. In some countries, it has reached the peak of its horrors, while some countries are still forced to guess only what will be the peak maxima of number of Covid‐19 patients. People are compelled to maintain social distancing, cleanliness, and high level of hygiene. Right from the beginning of this epidemic, it has been concluded that washing hands every hour with soap (surfactants) can help people to protect themselves from this disease. Surfactants can play a major role in stopping the spread of this epidemic? In this review article, the role of surfactants to stop the spread of Covid‐19 has been discussed. In addition, some of the other prospects of surfactants in Covid‐19 such as a drug delivery of pulmonary drugs have also been explained.</jats:p>
