In a previous report, we shared with you the statement of Sanofi, one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical laboratories based in France, that 300,000 COVID-19 patients can be treated with the hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) drug used for malaria. Professor Didier Raoult, at the University of Marseille Medical School, who led the work carried out by Sanofi, said that 24 COVID-19 patients were treated with the drug in question, and that the virus disappeared in 75 percent of cases six days later.
