Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, which has caused millions of confirmed infections and thousands of deaths, has been the most devastating worldwide crises recently. The main clinical symptoms of confirmed COVID-19 cases include fever, dry cough, general fatigue, respiratory symptoms, diarrhea and sore throat, similar to those of acute respiratory distress syndrome. SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, belongs to a novel coronavirus strain against which no drug or vaccine currently exists. Therefore, research units around the world have been actively developing efficient diagnostic tools and new drugs. This article summarizes the potential traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in clinical manifestations of COVID-19, based on several translational and clinical researches, especially those in mainland China. Most importantly, we concisely summarize practical TCMs for COVID-19 at different stages for all the citizens. Based on all the information accumulated in the updated literature, the contribution of TCMs to the war against COVID-19 are highly promising and respected. Finally, we would like to extend our best regards to the frontline health fighters in the war against COVID-19 in Taiwan and all over the world.
