The European Union’s drug regulator on Thursday gave the green light to Pfizer Inc’s antiviral COVID-19 pill for treating adults at risk of severe illness, as the region scrambles to boost its arsenal to fight the Omicron variant.

These oral drugs, especially Pfizer's, are seen as promising new treatment options that can be taken at home at the onset of COVID-19 symptoms to help prevent hospitalisations and deaths.

Italy, Germany and Belgium are among a handful of EU countries that have bought the drug, branded as Paxlovid.EU health commissioner Stella Kyriakides said the bloc was now making good progress on lining up treatments, which she described as a second line of defence after vaccines.
