Opinions on the rehabilitation therapies of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)

The COVID-19 epidemic in China has been effectively controlled, a large number of patients have been released from isolation and discharged, and the treatment and rehabilitation programs in the recovery period need to be effectively implemented. The recovery of coronavirus disease 2019 is a syndrome of deficiency and solidity. The deficiency of qi and yin is dominant, and some patients have yang deficiency; phlegm and stasis are the main pathological products. We suggest that hierarchical management is recommended for patients in the recovery period. Asymptomatic patients with normal lung imaging results should take the respiratory rehabilitation program and have no need to take drugs. Patients with clinical symptoms with or without lung shadows, and patients who have no obvious symptoms but whose lung shadows are not completely absorbed, need to be treated according to syndrome differentiation.
