To comprehensively summarize the policies issued by the governments of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions on the TCM treatment of COVID-19 and the information reported by the newspapers on the treatment effect of TCM in the provinces, so as to provide references for the government to formulate the TCM treatment policies in the future; and discuss the overall effect of TCM on COVID-19, so as to provide some ideas for the follow-up researchers to deeply analyze the effect of TCM on COVID-19.Methods:News about “TCM COVID-19” and “integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine COVID-19” published on the webpage before February 29, 2020 (inclusive) were retrieved, the TCM anti-epidemic promotion policy documents issued by the health commission of various provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and information on the participation rate and therapeutic effect of TCM treatment reported in newspapers were extracted.Results:As of February 28, 2020, a total of 23 TCM anti-epidemic promotion policy documents and 22 information on the participation rate and therapeutic effect of TCM treatment from provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions were collected.Conclusion:The collected information suggests that the cure rate of patients with COVID-19 may have a positive correlation with the participation rate of TCM, but there are other factors that affect the cure rate of patients with COVID-19.The exact relationship between the two needs further scientific verification.
