The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Covid tablets: Boris Johnson announces development of new treatments” – below is their description.
Tablets that can be taken at home to treat Covid-19 could be available as early as the autumn thanks to a new government drive to improve treatments.
The aim is for at least two effective treatments for Covid to be developed by the end of the year which could be taken either in a tablet or capsule form.
The drugs would be taken at home after testing positive for the virus rather than in the hospital, freeing up pressure on hospitals for only the most severe cases.
If successful the scheme would improve recovery times for people who catch Covid-19 and ensure fewer people get severely ill with the virus.
