The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a report on Remdesivir, a drug recommended for the treatment of a new type of coronavirus.

Axar.az reports that according to the report, Remdesivir is not useful in treating the pandemic.

"This drug has been tested on 237 patients. After testing, it became clear that the drug has no effect. On the contrary, the side effects are more. Therefore, the drug testing process has been suspended," the report said.

After a while, the WHO published the report on the official website as "wrong".

Speaking on the issue, WHO spokesman for COVID-19 Tarik Jasarevic said that the draft document prepared by experts has been sent to the WHO:

"However, the information was released immediately after the error was clarified. We will reopen the report after reviewing it by other experts."
