According to a brief communiqué from the National Health Commission, health authorities, traditional Chinese medicine specialists, and representatives of the global agency reached a consensus at a videoconference on Wednesday.

During the meeting, they analyzed the behavior of the new outbreak of the virus in this country, the measures to contain it, and the medical treatments implemented, especially for severe and critical Covid-19 cases.

Issues such as monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus mutation and vaccination strategies were also discussed.
