摘要

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection has been spreading for more than 2 months since it broke out early 2020.(1) The alarming levels of spread and severity have made this virus characterized as a pandemic which has been affecting at least 200 countries, areas or territories around the world.And 1051,635 cases and 56,985 deaths were confirmed by 10:00 CET April 4, 2020.(2) So far, it is encouraging to note that the outbreak of COVID-19 in China has been basically contained and more than 77,200 patients in China have been cured after a series of treatments,(3) which suggests that patients can be cured through therapy even though there is an absence of specific medications and vaccines.
