Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Time to the normalization of the temperature	The normalization of the temperature is defined as that the temperature of the patient dropped to normal and stabilized for more than 72 hours.	up to 30 days
Secondary	Time to cough reported as mild or absent	The severity of cough is assessed using Cough Symptom Scale, a scale range from 0-6. 0: cough absent;1-2: mild; 3-4:moderate; 5-6: severe	Baseline, Day 3, Day 7, Day 10 and Day 30
Secondary	Mean clinical recovery time (hours)	The clinical recovery time is defined as the time from initiation of study treatment (active or placebo) until normalisation of fever, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation, and alleviation of cough, sustained for at least 72 hours.; Normalisation and alleviation criteria: (1) Fever: =36.6°C or -axilla, =37.2 °C oral or =37.8°C rectal or tympanic;(2)Respiratory rate - =24/minute on room air; 3) Oxygen saturation - >94% on room air; (4) Cough - mild or absent on a patient reported scale (cough symptoms score = 2 points).	up to 30 days
Secondary	Time to dyspnea reported as mild or absent	The severity of dyspnea is assessed on a self-reported scale of severe, moderate, mild or absent.	Baseline, Day 3, Day 7, Day 10 and Day 30
Secondary	Mean blood oxygen saturation		Baseline, Day 3, Day 7, Day 10
Secondary	Mean neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR)	Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is obtained from the blood routine.	Baseline, Day 10
