The vast majority of patients can be cured of the new coronavirus, but the specific situation also depends on the patient’s physical condition and the severity of the disease. New coronavirus, i.e. new coronavirus pneumonia, can usually be cured after targeted treatment if the patient is in good health and has a strong recovery ability, and if the disease is mild. However, if the patient is older, suffers from other diseases, and has poor recovery ability, sequelae may occur, and in severe cases, the disease may be life-threatening. Patients suffering from new coronavirus pneumonia should report to the police in time and receive regular treatment to avoid aggravation of the condition or the induction of other complications, resulting in death. Tip: “New coronavirus pneumonia” and “new coronavirus pneumonia” mentioned in this article were renamed to “new coronavirus infection” on December 26, 2022, as announced by the National Health Commission.
