Japan has said it will approve the antiviral drug,
Remdesivir, to treat coronavirus patients on Thursday.
The country also said it might approve another medication,
Avigan, later this month.
This would make Japan the second country to approve the
drug, after US regulators authorised it on Friday, for emergency use against
severe cases of COVID-19.
“If there is no problem we hope to swiftly approve the drug
today,” top government spokesman, Yoshihide Suga, told reporters.
Ehanire during a press briefing on Tuesday said “We have
been using that (Remdesivir); we have tried that in Lagos too.
“So, we have tried the antiretroviral drug to see what
effect it has.”
