Covid-19 Drug Remdesivir Has Finally Been Approved By EU.

The European Union has finally approved the use of anti-viral drug, Remdesivir, which has been claimed to cure coronavirus.

The approval came after two major US studies showed that remdesivir can reduce the duration of hospital stay for COVID-19 patients.

In a press statement on Friday, July 3rd, 2020, EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides revealed that the approval of the vaccine is an important step taken to fight the spread of Covid-19.

She stated as follows;

“Today’s authorisation of a first medicine to treat COVID-19 is an important step forward in the fight against this virus.

We are granting this authorisation less than a month after the application was submitted, showing clearly the EU’s determination to respond quickly whenever new treatments become available.”

Remdesivir which is the only anti-coronavirus medication to be given the green light in the EU, was originally intended as a treatment for Ebola.
