After the doctor took a break, the next day the volunteers immediately took the Chinese medicine from the expert team to Italy and delivered it to the patient in isolation at home.

Some mild patients have turned cloudy, and some cold patients have reduced symptoms, which greatly eased their anxiety and fear."
