Long road still to Covid-19 vaccine, Health D-G says

BY G. PRAKASH

However, he assured Malaysians that the country was part of the global health cooperation working on a vaccine and drug treatments for the disease that has already killed 63 people here and nearly 76,000 worldwide. “In the global ‘Solidarity Trial’ that Malaysia is part of we will test several drugs to treat the disease, so we hope with this joint effort with other countries we will be able to gather all the data to find a solution in the near future,” he said.

News reports today claimed that more “striking” evidence has emerged that the BCG vaccine given to counter Tuberculosis may provide protection against Covid-19 and significantly reduce death rates in countries with high levels of vaccination.
