I believe that includes Covid19. Physicians who entered into such areas can be regarded as a contravention that can be subject to legal actions.
That also probably made western medical practitioners as superior and will try to exclude such Chinese medicines from being used for treatment of Covid19.
If so, that can be an obstacle for use as a treatment for Covid19. I think we should see China's success in controlling Covid19 in China. Refusal in learning and using China's way of controlling the disease is a reason that lead us to our predicament now.
I hope we should change and learn to improve our handling the disease instead of rejecting a good way of treating the disease.

对董医师在早报里写的, 我对以下特别感同身受:
“目前在控制疫情的问题上,若政府仍旧坚持己见,不寻求其他医学的帮助,很难彻底消除病毒的威胁。有关当局是否有认真考虑,让中医药界也参与抗疫工作?倘若能利用中西医药各自的特色或优点,共同对抗疫情,相信必能创造新的局面。
政府应该采取开明的态度,使用行之有效的方法,来杜绝这种疫病的肆虐,让我们能够战胜病毒。不要固执科研的数据,毕竟在这几千年来,华人都能从无数的疫情(瘟疫)中生存和繁衍下来,靠的就是临床经验丰富、效果显著的中医中药。”
早在2020年,中国中医在总结他们的抗疫经验,已在国际权威学术期刊向世界推荐了“三药三防”:

“三药”即金花清感颗粒、连花清瘟颗粒和胶囊、血必净注射液。
“三方”是指清肺排毒汤、化湿败毒方、宣肺败毒方3个方剂。
2020年3月23日,中国国务院新闻办也针对中医药在防治新冠肺炎中的重要作用做了新闻发布会:

Dr. Dong Jinhua, practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), wrote an article on Zaobao, asking the Singapore government to allow local TCM practitioners to join the fight against COVID-19:

Back in 2020, TCM practitioners from China had already published their experience and recommendations on the use of TCM against COVID-19 in scientific peer reviewed journal:
https://cmjournal.biomedcentral.com/arti...20-00375-1
They summarised their recommendations as the "Three medicines and three TCM prescriptions”:
Jinhua Qinggan Granule, Lianhua Qingwen Capsule, Xuebijing Injection, Qingfei Paidu Decoction, Huashi Baidu Formula, and Xuanfei Baidu Formula
On 23rd Mar 2020, the State Council Information Office of China did a press release on the effectiveness of TCM against COVID-19, and shared their experience on the use of TCM in combination with western medicine, to effectively prevent and control COVID-19:
