Key China coronavirus hospital says HIV drug beneficial to patients

At the height of the epidemic in the city, Jinyintan was treating close to 500 coronavirus patients, he said. It currently still has 123 under observation, he said. A study published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine, based on a test in Chinese patients with severe COVID-19 at Jinyintan, said that Kaletra, also known as Aluvia, was not effective as a potential treatment.


Last month, Israel approved the licensing of a generic version of Kaletra to treat patients infected with the coronavirus.
