The Ministry of Health has reported that it wants to buy the drug Paxlovid. It is used to treat elderly people from coronavirus who are at increased risk of having severe symptoms. It will be prescribed for treatment of mild to moderate cases. US President Joe Biden also underwent treatment with Paxlovid.
