Each mobile cabin hospital is equipped with 2-3 TCM experts and a team of 12 national TCM masters are accompanied with severe patients in Wuhan.(Liuļ¼ŒRuiche, 2020) Currently, the national treatment guidance of COVID-19 (7 th edition) (General Office of the National Health Commission, 2020) and more than 20 provinces and regions have released modified treatment guidance inclining TCM integration according to their geographical and weather conditions, which is an unique methodology in TCM therapy based on the perspective of harmonization between environment and human body. Therefore, a qualitative definition of COVID-19 in TCM theory is a "cold and damp" (Chen and Nakamura, 2004; Jia and Gao, 2003) Using a different idea from the microbiology-oriented knowledge of the aetiology of the disease or the mechanism of novel drugs, TCM emphasizes on the relief of symptoms so as to cure infected patients and control the spreading of epidemics. ./cache/cord-279875-jxnszm5k.txt ./txt/cord-279875-jxnszm5k.txt
