Background and Objective: In less than a year, approximately 90 million people worldwide have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 highlighting the urgent need for scientists to understand the spread of the virus. This study aims to investigate the abnormal biochemical reactions that occur when there are high levels of Fe²⁺, which significantly contribute to the spread of SARS -CoV-2. Materials and Methods: This review made use of data from 1986 to 2023 from scholarly journals and databases, including Elsevier, Taylor & Francis Online, the National Institute of Health, BMC, Scientific Research, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Google Scholar. For information on SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, RBCs, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Zn²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, NO₂^–, P^3–, Cl₂^– and S^2– and biochemical reactions, several databases were accessed. Results: The presence of Fe²⁺-rich proteins leads to hypoxic conditions due to the increased formation of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺. Conclusion: Key factors in the spread of SARS-CoV-2 involve the use of faulty metabolic reactions that produce RNS, resulting in NO₂^–, ROS, leading to MetHb and Fe³⁺-H₂O₂ complex, RSS resulting in Fe-S cluster and RPS resulting in [Fe (PO₄)₆]^–3 complex for the production and release of virions.
