Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, thinks that we will see a cure for Coronavirus before the vaccine could be found.
"There is a better opportunity, at the right time, to have something that can help in treatments, before having the ability to distribute a safe and effective vaccine," Fauci told CNN anchor, Wolf Blitzer.
Fauci noted that he trusts Remdesivir antiviral drug, as US Department of Health said that it would give health authorities the power to distribute it.
"We are currently using this drug with other drugs, and we are also following things like the negative transfer of convalescence plasma," Fauchi said.
It is worth mentioning that, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 121,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
More cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease COVID-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.
People across the globe partake in self-isolation for 14 days as an effective precautionary measure to protect those around them and themselves from contracting COVID-19.
Transmission of virus between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.
It can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
