Abstract: COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, is known for its spectrum of clinical manifestations affecting respiratory system. The emergence of COVID-19 led to the production of different studies. However, existing investigations showed insufficient on how COVID-19 affects erythrocytes despite its potential effects on the disease. With that, this paper employed a scoping review on how COVID-19 affects erythrocytes, specifically how these cells contribute to the severity and hypoxic progression of the disease. Collected studies are those published from December 2019 to December 2021 from databases, namely WHO COVID-19 Database, PubMed (MEDLINE), Global Index Medicus and Google Scholar. Most studies collected are review articles, while clinical studies, case reports and the like are still lacking. The findings indicate that the role of ACE-2 is significantly accountable for the link between COVID-19 and erythrocytes, thereby leading to a series of related events. Hypoxia, one of the disease's main presentations, was analyzed to play a pivotal role in the exchanging effect of COVID-19 and erythrocytes on each other. All of which permits the progression of hypoxia due to problems in blood flow, oxygen transportation and immune response, leading to blood disorders or aggravating an existing blood disorder. Although studies collected were chiefly limited to review articles, the authors were able to maximize all sources to map the key points and arrive with an analysis that achieves the objectives of the study. Moreover, the authors have analyzed the heightened need for extensive research by utilizing first-hand patient data - increasing the production of clinical studies, case reports and the like to strengthen and widen the information on how COVID-19 and erythrocytes are associated with one another.
