US President Donald Trump has backed the anti-malarial drug for COVID-19 prevention and treatment, prompting governments to bulk-buy.

The World Health Organization declared Wednesday that clinical preliminaries of the medication hydroxychloroquine will continue as it scans for potential coronavirus medicines.

On May 25, the WHO declared it had incidentally suspended the preliminaries to direct a wellbeing audit, which has now finished up there is "no explanation" to change the manner in which the preliminaries are led.

The UN wellbeing organization's choice came after an examination distributed in The Lancet clinical diary recommending the medication could expand the danger of death among COVID-19 patients.

The official gathering of the alleged Solidarity Trial - in which many medical clinics over the world have enlisted patients to test a few potential medicines for the novel coronavirus - accepting the choice as a precautionary measure.
