The subject may be suffering from COVID-19 disease, including but not limited to a thrombotic complication, an adverse pregnancy outcome, and/or a complication resulting from an underlying prothrombotic state. Also provided are compositions that include Ang (1-7) peptides, analogs, and/or derivatives thereof that are associated with degradable and/or non-degradable polymers having electrostatic interactions therewith, hydrophobic interaction therewith, hydrogen bonding interactions therewith, or any combination thereof. Also provided are uses of Ang (1-7) peptides, analogs, and/or derivatives thereof and/or a Mas Receptor (MasR) agonists for treating subjects infected with coronaviruses and/or for preparing medicaments therefore.
