SEOUL: European and South Korean authorities are vying for Gilead Sciences' potential Covid-19 treatment, remdesivir, even though the drugmaker has yet to gain regulatory approval in either market and is still ramping up production of the anti-viral drug.

The European Medicines Agency noted it has not yet received an application from the U.S. drugmaker, but said its human medicines committee's timeline to assess the drug would be"reduced to the absolute minimum,". This month, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Gilead had committed to supply U.S. hospitals with about 607,000 vials of remdesivir, about 40% of the total 1.5 million-vial donation.
