Bruce Aylward, assistant director-general of the World Health Organization, says that the drug remdesivir is currently being tested in humans as a possible treatment for the new coronavirus. This comes after the drug had already shown promising results against two similar coronavirus strains in animal studies. The drug is only one of several compounds being tested as a treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus. In addition, other companies are working on vaccines aimed at preventing infection.
