Ridecivir is an antiviral drug that was first developed to fight the Ebola virus and is clinically considered to be a potentially effective drug for the new coronavirus. No large-scale clinical studies have been conducted on this drug against the new coronavirus, so the current treatment of new coronavirus infections is mainly a combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine, such as TCM Phlegm Fever Qing Injection, Lianhua Qingdian Capsule, and Fangfeng Tongsheng San, and western medicine such as ribavirin, interferon, and even anti-AIDS drugs can be used to fight against new coronavirus infections.
