Drugs for novel coronavirus?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None: There are no proven effective treatments for Covid. Once hospitalized, treatment is supportive although medications are routinely given in the hope that they may help. It is possible that one of these medications may prove effective once data is collected from many patients.
