* Scientists are endeavoring to find antivirals specific to the virus. Several drugs such as chloroquine, arbidol, remdesivir, and favipiravir are currently undergoing clinical studies to test their efficacy and safety in the treatment of COVID-19 in China; the summary of some promising results are summarized.<ref>PMID:32147628</ref> | * Scientists are endeavoring to find antivirals specific to the virus.
