Abstract: 

The article substantiates studies on the inhibition of virus COVID-19 reproduction within the organ- ism based on upregulation of intracellular interferon I through strengthening synthesis and upregu- lation of heat shock protein with the molecular mass of 70 kDa.

Keywords: Virus COVID-19, heat shock protein 70 kDa, intra-cellular interferon upregulation
