Clinical management of COVID-19 should be guided by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that there is no specific antiviral treatment recommended, and patients should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms.	./cache/cord-260046-lli6mt29.txt	./txt/cord-260046-lli6mt29.txt
