This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
This article introduces current status of COVID-19 and its side-effects, and reviews emerging protective measures and strategies from lifestyle to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for fighting against the SARS-CoV-2 and its major variants (Delta and Omicron) as well as the global COVID-19 pandemic, which include “Carassius auratus lifestyle” for high effective isolation, social and high-tech related medical strategies, traditional Chinese herbs “Bark-Flower-Fruit-Grass-Leaf-Nucleolus-Root (BFFGLNR)”, as well the combination of Chinese and western medicine. As a choice, little is known whether Chinese acupuncture is an effective method for confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients, which include imported and asymptomatic cases. Definitely, acupuncture is effective for the recovery of COVID-19 cases. However, its effects and related mechanisms need further animal experiments and clinical trials to confirm and disclose. In conclusion, these emerging protective measures and strategies for COVID-19 will help to effectively combat the SARS-CoV-2 and its variants during the pandemic and post-COVID-19 era.
