It has been proved in China that the spread of the virus can be remarkably slowed and reversed through the implementation of social distancing policies, isolation and quarantine measures, and early detection and medical care of patients with confirmed infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).1 Besides physicians and nurses, Chinese pharmacists have played an important role in fighting the epidemic.
