The State Council ’s joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference on February 29. Wang Rongbing, chief physician of the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Beijing Ditan Hospital, said that for the Chinese patents recommended during the medical observation period, healthy people would not take the effect of preventing new coronary pneumonia. The Chinese patent medicine we recommend is for people who have symptoms and need treatment. For example, some patients feel weak and weak, and even have diarrhea and bloating. The use of these drugs is not for prevention, so it is not advisable to use proprietary Chinese medicines for prevention in healthy people and people without symptoms.
