It is a critical moment in the battle to defeat the current outbreak of novel coronavirus. For this specific indication, rapid performance of TCM can contribute as an alternative measure. TCM can effectively prevent the disease from transforming into severe and critical disease. In severe cases, TCM has won time for recovery by improving symptoms (The State Council Information Office of the People’s Republic of China, 2020). Treatment practice for COVID-19 has shown that early intervention with TCM is an important method to improve cure rate, shorten the course of disease, delay disease progression and reduce mortality rate. For example, the total response rate of Qingfei Paidu Decoction was more than 90% in Shanxi and Hebei provinces (He et al., 2020).
