Parts of the skillful statement are based on epidemiological and clinical evidence, deprived of existing systematic evidences. A comprehensive text with 46 statements are obtainable, including defense of medical personnel, etiological treatment, diagnosis and treatment of tissue and organ functional impairment, psychological interventions, immunity therapy, nutritional support, and transportation of critically ill COVID-19 patients.
