Traditional Chinese medicine used to cure 92 per cent cases in China: White paper

A white paper has been released by the State Council Information Office on Sunday that said China used Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to cure 92 per cent of their coronavirus cases across the country.

According to the white paper "Fighting COVID-19: China in Action", set of TCM diagnosis and treatment protocols were developed. It covered the medication of all the type of cases (mild, moderate, severe).

The white paper also noted that Huibei, which was once an epicentre of the virus, more than 90 per cent of its cases received Traditional Chinese medicine which proved effective.

In December 2019, China was the first country to identify the first case of the deadly coronavirus, Wuhan being the epicentre. The virus spread to more than 120 countries since then and has affected almost 4 million people all over the world, with more than 307,000 total deaths.
