The present disclosure provides a method preparing Silver-nanocurcumin material for inhibiting new coronavirus. The turmeric powder is heated and stirred and then mixed with silver nitrate solution. After multiple steps of cooling, stirring for reaction and centrifuging and other steps, crude extract of Silver-nanocurcumin is obtained. Then, after further processes such as the multiple washing and centrifuging, a purified composition of Silver-nanocurcumin is obtained. The composition of Silver-nanocurcumin can be used to inhibit the new coronavirus and its similar viruses, and as a source of drugs for the prevention and treatment of diseases derived from the new coronavirus COVID-19 in the future.
