A COVID-19 Pill Could Be Ready Later This Year

A pill that’s being developed by Pfizer as a possible cure for the coronavirus could be ready later this year.

The antiviral drug is designed to attack the “spine” of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to prevent it from replicating in the nose, throat and lungs.

Trials are now underway for the drug, and if successful the drug could be approved for use by the FDA later this year.
