Abstract
The novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease first broke out and was identified in Wuhan, China in late 2019. On 11 March, 2020, based on the fact that in a period of merely two weeks, the number of cases of Covid-19 outside China had increased 13-fold and the number of affected countries had tripled, WHO declared Covid-19 a pandemic. However, sadly, no specific drugs are available to treat and prevent Covid-19 at this moment. There are some typical early symptoms, along with other less identifiable manifestations, red-flagging the presence of the illness. Early identification and management of these seemingly scattered symptoms are extremely important in terms of controlling the spread and preventing further deterioration of Covid-19. Authors in this article attempt to explore the pathogenesis and mechanisms of these early symptoms and provide advice on relevant treatments from the viewpoint of TCM, illustrating that precise reading of all these early symptoms has significant importance in order to achieve successful TCM management in time.
