PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has been chosen by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as one of the countries to run trials on the effectiveness of a drug called Remdesevir to treat Covid-19 patients, says the National Security Council (NSC).

NSC said that Malaysia was chosen due to the ability of the Health ministry to undertake the research.

In a Facebook post, Dr Noor Hisham explained that on Friday WHO announced a large global trial, called Solidarity, to find out whether any drugs can treat infections with the new coronavirus.
