Potential new treatment for Covid-19 identified by scientists

Covid-19 treatment methods primarily focus solely on preventing the virus from replicating. However, scientists have claimed that the new treatment inhibits replication but also protects or repairs tissue, which is important because COVID-19 can cause symptoms that affect patients long after the viral infection has been cleared.

Wastewater COVID-19 values dropping in some Alberta cities
