To date, there is no specific medicine recommended to prevent or treat the new coronavirus, also known as COVID-19.

However, those infected with the virus should receive appropriate care to relieve and treat symptoms, and those with severe illness should receive optimized supportive care. Some specific treatments are under investigation and would be started under medical supervision and care.

到目前为止，还没有特别推荐的药物来预防或治疗这种新型冠状病毒，也被称为COVID-19。

然而，那些感染病毒的人应该接受适当的治疗以缓解和治疗症状，而那些患有严重疾病的人应该得到最佳的支持性治疗。一些具体的治疗正在研究中，并将在医疗监督和护理下展開。
