May 26, 2020, Fredrick, Maryland, USA: Colorized scanning electron micrograph of a dead cell heavily infected with SARS-COV-2 virus particles (yellow), isolated from a patient sample. REMDESIVIR, a drug treatment appears to shorten recovery time for people with coronavirus according to new research. UK Health Secretary Hancock said it was probably the biggest step forward in the treatment of coronavirus since the crisis began. Remdesivir is an anti-viral medicine that has been used against Ebola. Researchers there is enough evidence to approve its use in selected Covid-19 hospital patients.The US and Japan have made urgent arrangements to provide early access to the medicine before they have a marketing agreement. The drug is currently undergoing clinical trials around the world. Early data suggests it can cut recovery time by about four days, but there is no evidence yet that it will save more lives. Remdesivir is superior to the standard of care for the treatment of COVID-19, according to the research published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The preliminary analysis is based on data from a treatment trial.
