Remdesivir does not help hospitalised COVID patients: WHO

"Remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir and interferon regimens appeared to have little or no effect on hospitalised Covid-19, as indicated by overall mortality, initiation of ventilation and duration of hospital stay," said the study. Remdesivir was the only drug that received Emergency Use Authorisation for Covid-19 from the US Food and Drug Administration.
