The clinical research question for the overview was structured and scoped according to the PICO criteria (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes). Use of the PICO framework facilitates the systematic review process as it improves conceptual clarity of the clinical problem, allows more complex search strategies, results in more precise search results, and allows evidence to be selected appropriately. 
Primary clinical research questions developed for the overview: 
In absence of the vaccines against Covid19, can Homeopathic Combinations provide effective prophylaxis to the people at the risk of high exposure such as Sanitary Workers during Pandemic Lockdown? 
For patients with clinical conditions of COVID19, can homeopathy provide effective redressal in absence any other treatment? 

The agreed PICO criteria for the primary clinical research question “Is homeopathy  effective in prophylaxis and or treatment, in absence of vaccines and other prophylaxis methods and treatments? 
Population: High risk people such as sanitary workers / people infected with COVID19 
Intervention: (1) Evaluating the Efficacy of Homeopathic Combinations for Prophylaxis and treatment of Viral Fevers including COVID19  (2) Homeopathy used in conjunction with other interventions if being used, where the specific effects of homeopathy can be determined by speedy recovery, symptom management etc. Combination of Homeopathic Medicines stratified by Homeopathic Doctor (Co Investigator) and Research Team
Comparator: (1) Non Homeopathic  (2) Any other as and when required
Outcomes: Clinical outcomes  +Incidence while taking Medicine +Improvements +Adverse events +No effects
Other systematic review considerations Limits: As per need, Time duration: 3 Months

EFFECTIVENESS OF HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES TOWARDS PROPHYLAXIS FOR COVID19
Evidence summary: The effectiveness of Homeopathic Medicines for the Prophylaxis of Covid19
Quality Sample size: 10000 Nagar Nigam Sanitary Workers and other high risk people as per availability
