The World Health Organization announced that it will be testing three drugs to see if they can work as treatments for Covid-19.
The trials will involve three drugs used to treat malaria, cancers and immune system disorders, according to WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebryesus.
The drugs were selected by an independent panel of experts that evaluated the available data on potential treatments. The trials, known as the Solidarity PLUS trials, will involve thousands of researchers, 600 hospitals in 52 countries, Ghebryesus added.
The WHO chief said the search for new treatments comes as the agency last week recorded the 200 millionth case of COVID-19, just six months after the world passed 100 million reported cases.
