UNSTRUCTURED With the relaxing of telehealth regulations from the HIPAA Waiver for Telehealth Remote Communications during the COVID-19 Nationwide Public Health Emergency notification, our organization had the opportunity to pilot an innovative virtual care solution using a modified consumer grade system (Amazon Echo Show) within one inpatient COVID-19 unit. In this brief report, we describe our experiences with implementing the system, general feedback from clinicians, and discuss areas for future development required to enable future scaling of this solution.

: COVID-19 is a public health emergency of international concern. Although, considerable knowledge has been acquired with time about the viral mechanism of infection and mode of replication, yet no specific drugs or vaccines have been discovered against SARS-CoV-2, till date. There are few small molecule antiviral drugs like Remdesivir and Favipiravir which have shown promising results in different advanced stage of clinical trials. Chloroquinine, Hydroxychloroquine, and Lopinavir-Ritonavir combination, although initially was hypothesized to be effective against SARS-CoV-2, are now discontinued from the solidarity clinical trials. This review provides a brief description of their chemical syntheses along with their mode of action and clinical trial results available in Google and different peer reviewed journals till 24th October 2020.

UNSTRUCTURED Background: Since December 2019, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan city and rapidly spread throughout China. Facing this kind of public health emergency, an efficient, fast and group communication method is needed. Method: As a director of the department Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine in a tertiary hospitals, which is the only designated one for diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 in a medium-sized city, I analyzed and summarized the “group function” of WeChat (Weixin, micro-message) App in working about COVID-19. Results: By February 16, 2020, we have completed 1,526 citywide consultations and treatment of 322 inpatients, including 97 patients diagnosed with COVID-19, with the help of 12 WeChat groups by handy. The advantages of WeChat group are as follows: 1. Work efficiency can be improved greatly, saving labor costs. 2. Accurate and intuitive information can be gotten fast and timely, avoiding close contacting with COVID-19 patients. 3. Data and message in WeChat groups can be saved, arranged and reviewed at any time. Conclusions: The “group function” in WeChat App plays a greater role in the public health emergent work about management, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.
