According to data reported by Pontes, the country develops artificial intelligence equipment to test suspected people.

Vaccines take longer than drug repositioning, but we are working on a double vaccine, both for Influenza and the new coronavirus. He also highlighted that only science has the power to combat the virus.

With scientific attention, he did not disclose the name of the medicine so “there would be no desperate shopping spree. This is because it is a famous drug, widely available on the market. This, according to information from the Secretary of Policies for Training and Strategic Actions of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications (MCTIC), Marcelo Morales.

Another good piece of information is what the minister said, which is that Brazil will have in its hands, at most, in mid-May, the completion of a treatment, with medicine available even in pediatric formulation.”

With approval from the federal government, the medicine will be tested on 500 patients in seven hospitals, five in Rio de Janeiro, one in São Paulo and another in Brasília.

Important considerations about our possible cure.

Another essential detail: the medication will be administered daily, for five days, with a further nine days of observation. In total: within 14 days, we will be able to see if the effects on patients will be the same as those already proven in infected cells”, highlighted the minister.

But we must remain calm, the clinical experiment will be carried out with patients who are hospitalized to monitor their symptoms and viral load.

Pontes also clarified that the protocol will be an absolutely randomized administration, that is, neither doctors nor patients will know who is taking the medication and who is receiving placebos.
