US President Donald Trump says he is taking a drug called hydroxychloroquine to ward off the coronavirus, despite widespread medical advice that it is not useful in treating COVID-19 and can even be harmful.
Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat malaria and a leading government immunologist testified to Congress last week that he was removed for raising doubts about the medicine’s efficacy.
Trump continues to test negative for COVID-19.
