South Africa is participating in clinical trials to find a vaccine for Covid-19, which has already infected more than 500 000 people globally, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said on Saturday night.
T he Public Health Emergency Solidarity Trial was initiated by the World Health Organisation to conduct a clinical trial to find effective treatment for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus which originated in Wuhan, China . Mkhize said that WHO has convened an independent group of experts to review evidence from laboratory, animal and clinical studies to prioritize treatments for inclusion in the trial.
"All participating countries will adhere to the same methodology in order to facilitate the worldwide comparison of unproven treatments. Other countries that have already confirmed their participation in this trial are Argentina, Bahrain, Canada, France, Iran, Norway, Spain, Switzerland and Thailand," Mkhize said.
"The South African Solidarity research team is led by Professors Helen Rees and Jeremy Nel, working 30 senior academics, researchers and clinicians from eight medical schools in the country . They will be undertaking the study in fourteen leading hospitals across the country."** If you think you have been exposed to the Covid-19 virus, please call the 24-hour hotline on 0800 029 999
Will be interesting to see, who'll be put on the vaccine trial Scientists has a filthy habit of using black ppl as Guinea pigs in this country with there many, often deadly failed experiments If common sense prevails, we know who the virus targeted mainly

Ungenaphi pho bheki Cele kule nkulumo
Me don't want vaccine 😔😔 I will eat my herbs, vegetables and fruits
SAPoliceService Could someone educate minister Bheki Cele that his face mask must cover his nose. To make it relatable, he’s using a bulletproof vest to a grenade war! There are many South Africans that look to public figures and his nonchalant demeanour sends the wrong message.
The French are having success in their clinical trials by combining hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
Only time will tell
