Some of these patients, especially the mild cases, have only mild clinical manifestations, such as fever, malaise, and no pneumonia, and these patients may not need special treatment and management, and may be able to clear the virus by their own immune function, recover their body temperature, and improve their clinical symptoms. The clinical recovery of patients without special treatment can be interpreted as self-limiting disease. However, the self-limiting nature of neocoronavirus infection is somewhat different from the ordinary self-limiting disease because neocoronavirus is an infectious disease, which is highly contagious. Although the patient’s body temperature is normal and clinical symptoms improve within 1-2 weeks without special treatment, the patient still needs isolation and observation in a designated hospital, so it is somewhat different from the usual self-limiting disease. Because there are some patients who have mild manifestations in the early stage but may still have changes in their condition in the later stage, they need to go to medical units for monitoring and observation.
