WHO Suspend Hydroxychloroquine Trials For COVID-19 by Jeroboy(m): 2:12am On Jul 05, 2020
The World Health Organisation has discontinued the use of hydroxychloroquine trials for COVID-19 treatment.

In a statement on Saturday via its website, WHO stated that the International Steering Committee formulated the recommendation in light of the evidence for hydroxychloroquine vs standard-of-care and for lopinavir/ritonavir vs standard-of-care from the Solidarity trial interim results, and from a review of the evidence from all trials presented at the WHO Summit on COVID-19 research and innovation held on July 1-2.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control on Saturday said 812 healthcare workers had been infected with COVID-19 nationwide, adding that it had begun an online course on Infection Prevention and Control of the virus.

“The NCDC has made efforts to rapidly strengthen the capacity of frontline healthcare workers in infection prevention and control wherever health care is provided.

Since the first case in Nigeria was confirmed in February, NCDC has supported the training of about 17,436 health workers in IPC and works in collaboration with the Departments of Hospital Services and Food and Drugs of the Federal Ministry of Health.

This thing don't become gamble o, what is with this trial and error approach? There is no medication without side effect to some persons, they should validate one therapeutic regimen. This roller coaster ride will lead nowhere, except back to square one.
