Abstract

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) still continues its threat to more and more people in even wider area. Many challenges remain as to how to efficiently manage the health risk and effectively reduce the social disturbance of this ongoing pandemic.

Methods: A 45-year-old COVID-19 woman living in Wuhan China, the initial epicenter of this global pandemic, isolate-at-home by herself, was given an early individual-based, situation and disease condition, as well as symptom-specific telemedicine.

Results: The patients who had abnormal pulmonary CT findings was effectively treated with timely telemedicine composed of multiple approaches. Up to now, the patient feels normal on all aspects and her family members have been remained infection-free as well.

Conclusions: The low dose of exposure and the early proper treatment and rehabilitation might helped overcome the disease without any lasting damage. Primary care physicians who knew their patients very well can work with radiologists and other specialists in a telemedicine mode to provide a safe, trusted, high quality professional health care and a cost-effective, situation-and disease condition, as well as symptom-specific medical treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
