Today (8th), a member of the National People's Congress, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and President of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Zhang Boli said in an interview with CCTV reporters on the Central Station that the current domestic epidemic situation is relatively stable, and you may be able to take off your masks in the beginning of next spring.
Question: The domestic epidemic situation is controlled smoothly. When can I avoid wearing a mask?
Zhang Boli: The epidemic in China is relatively stable now, but the epidemic abroad is still spreading, so we cannot be taken lightly. The task of preventing imports from outside and rebound from inside is still very heavy. In the past, we still had to stick to some good habits, including wearing masks. For example, there are very few flu this year, and there are few colds and upper respiratory tract infections, which is related to everyone's insistence on wearing masks. I expect that at least after the beginning of spring next year, I should be able to take off my mask.
Question: Some people are afraid of taking Chinese medicine because they have COVID-19. Is it necessary?
Zhang Boli: Traditional Chinese medicine plays a role in regulating the body's state, making your body stronger and defeating the epidemic. It is mainly conditioning function. If your physical condition is not bad, there is no need to take Chinese medicine.
Question: Some people say that Chinese patients who have recovered from COVID-19 have weaker sequelae than those in foreign patients. Is that true?
Zhang Boli: This is true. The incidence and degree of long-term symptoms in our country are lighter than those in foreign countries, but the specific reasons are not clear. We are also studying it.
