Taking anti-malarial drug to protect against virus: Donald Trump

TIL Desk/World/Washington/ United States President Donald Trump on Monday said he has been taking anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure against coronavirus.”I have been taking it (hydroxychloroquine) for about a week and a half,” Trump told reporters at the White House, asserting that he has zero symptoms of the deadly COVID-19, which has killed over

90,000 Americans in the past three months. Trump said he consulted his doctors in this regard but was not explicitly recommended by White House physicians.”White House doctor didn’t recommend. I asked him, what do you think? He said well, if you’d like it. I said yeah, I’d like it. I’d like to take it,” he said.

Trump said he has been taking a pill of the anti-malaria drug a day. “I take a pill every day. At some point, I’ll stop. What I’d like to do is I’d like to have the cure and/or the vaccine, and that will happen, I think, very soon,” he asserted.
