Currently, coronavirus (COVID-19) is continuing its spread across the world. The number of confirmed cases will break 1 thousand million very soon.

Coronavirus has a long incubation period, strong infectivity, and is generally susceptible to all kinds of people. It has had huge impact people’s health, economic development, and social stability. There is currently no targeted medicine that can effectively treat this disease.

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus in migrant workers’ dormitories in Singapore, the number of confirmed cases per day has risen and remained high. The government has implemented circuit breaker to control the outbreak in the shortest possible time.

Wuhan, China, as the world’s first coronavirus outbreak location, has successfully controlled the spread and achieved staged victory. In the treatment of coronavirus, China has adopted a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment model. This model has become China’s leading medical model to fight against the pandemic.

Among them, the “Qingfei Paidu Decoction”, which is composed of several classical prescriptions (Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang, Xiao Chai Hu Tang, Wu Ling San, She Gan Ma Huang Tang, Ju Zhi Jiang Tang) adapted from Treatise on Febrile Diseases Caused by Cold and Miscellaneous Diseases written by Zhang Zhongjing in Han Dynasty, for the treatment of exogenous fever caused by cold pathogens, has assisted many patients to relieve symptoms and made the patients reach a relatively ideal and stable stage in the process of recovery when the situation in China was serious.

In the early February 2020, with 214 clinically valid data obtained, the National Health Commission of the PRC and the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly issued a document recommending the use of “Qingfei Paidu Decoction” to the whole country.

Later, Tong Xiaolin, an expert of China Central Steering Group, an expert group leader from the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a chief researcher from the Chinse Academy of China Medical Sciences and an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences also said that after more than 1000 patient with COVID-19 took “Qingfei Paidu Decoction”, the vast majority of cases were cured, and the symptoms of other cases disappeared, or improved, or changed from severe to mild. The total effective rate reached 97.78% and none of them changed from mild to severe or critically ill. This shows that this compound Chinese medicine shows a very high degree of efficacy in the treatment of coronavirus.
