The United States has technically approved the usage of anti-malaria drug, chloroquine for the dreaded COVID-19.
The country’s Food and Drug Administration, however, authorized the drug to be administered only during an emergency.
In a statement on Sunday, the US Department of Health and Human Services detailed recent donations of medicine to a national stockpile – including chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, both being investigated as potential COVID-19 treatments.
It said the FDA had allowed them “to be distributed and prescribed by doctors to hospitalized teen and adult patients with COVID-19, as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible.”
Trump said last week that the two drugs could be a “gift from God,” despite scientists warning against the dangers of overhyping unproven treatments.
Many researchers including Anthony Fauci, the United States’ leading infectious disease expert, have urged the public to remain cautious until larger clinical trials validate smaller studies.
The US has more than 140,000 novel coronavirus cases and 2,489 deaths, according to a tracker maintained by Johns Hopkins University.
God had put his healing power upon this chloroquine, its actually not d drug specified for covid 19 but for God’s infinite mercies we av it as d cure. Hallelujah
