  • An observational study among 420 recovered COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, China suggests that recurrence rates (based on RT-PCR tests) may be lower among patients receiving a comprehensive intervention. The intervention consisted of a combination of treatments including Baduanjin execise, Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion with acupoint application, and foot baths. Recurrence positivity rates were significantly lower among those who received the intervention (2.8%) vs. among those who did not (15.8%).
