There are currently no specific treatments for the virus, which has killed almost 2,000 people.

However, professor Mark Harris of the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Leeds, U.K., toldthat while there is some laboratory-based evidence that anti-HIV medications might work against coronaviruses, it is"highly unlikely" they would work as an effective treatment. Asked how long it will be before there is a drug against COVID-19, Harris said:"If one of the approved compounds in trials at present works well then the only limitation will be how quickly can we make enough of it. Otherwise to develop new compounds it will take months to years." The drug remdesivir which is currently being tested in patients appears to be promising, he said.
