The diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 should not only depend on nucleic acid test, but also be based on clinical information such as medical history and radiographic findings. It’s critical to identify patients with high risk of rapid progression. Treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 should be individualized according to the underlying diseases and progression manner. For severely ill patients, oxygen and nutrition supplementation need to be strengthened, and for some highly selected cases, administration of glucocorticoids might be beneficial.
