'President [Donald] Trump has struck an amazing deal to ensure Americans have access to the first authorised therapeutic for Covid-19,' HHS Secretary Alex Azar said in a statement.

The US Department of Health Services announced on Monday it had secured more than 500,000 treatment courses of remdesivir from drugmaker Gilead Sciences for US hospitals until September. “To the extent possible, we want to ensure that any American patient who needs remdesivir can get it.” The drug has received full approval by Japanese health regulators. US approval requires a time-consuming Food and Drug Administration review, but Emergency Use Authorisations can be used in a health crisis when other options are not available.
