Hope of winning against the coronavirus is increasing, as the antiviral drug for coronavirus is now on trial

A news article published on People’s Daily confirmed that the antiviral drug Remdesivir, which was originally used to treat Ebola but later found to be good against SARS and MERS coronavirus, is going to be applied in clinical trials on this Thursday. The decision is known to be jointly supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Health Commission and the National Medical Products Administration. “Hopes have been pinned on the drug, but we have to wait for results of its actual effectiveness in the clinical trials,” said Wang Chen, the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and President of the CAMS.
