The Union Health Ministry has recently included Remdesivir as a part of investigational therapy and updated Clinical Management Protocol of COVID-19 patients.
The ministry has also added loss of taste and loss of smell as two key symptoms of COVID-19 infection.
Under the updated protocol, the Ministry has removed its earlier recommendation of the use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in severe cases.
Also, the usage of HCQ along with Azithromycin was also removed.
