DISINFO: Russia has found a way to treat coronavirus
SUMMARY
Russian doctors have found a way to treat the new strain of coronavirus 2019-nCoV. So far, three drugs that are also used to fight HIV, hepatitis C and multiple sclerosis are recommended. Immunomodulating drugs can be effective in the initial manifestations of the disease as well.
RESPONSE
At the moment, there is no cure against this strain of coronavirus, the vaccine is only at an early stage of development. Nevertheless, several specific vaccines and drugs are developed. Today, treatment consists of maintenance therapy, depending on the patient's condition. Regardless of the claims made in the article, to date, there is no specific medicine recommended to prevent or treat the new coronavirus. Immunomodulators are used to treat serious oncological diseases or in cases of organ transplantation. But there is currently no convincing evidence that immunomodulators help patients with influenza or respiratory infection recover.
