Is it necessary to hoard medicine?

Dong Yafeng, an overseas distinguished expert of China TCM Continuing Education Think Tank, said: "hoarding" is not desirable, but "preparation" is necessary. It is necessary to reserve some medicines in autumn and winter. Only for a few days.

Professor Wang Yun, from the Department of Infectious Diseases, South China Hospital affiliated to Shenzhen University, said that at present, more than 90% of the infected people in COVID-19 are asymptomatic and mild, so there is no need to buy drugs in large quantities and unreasonably.

The US Food and Drug Administration in Guangdong reminded that drugs have a shelf life and certain storage conditions. Improper storage is easy to deteriorate, and too many drugs are easy to be wasted after long-term storage.
