Doctor Paolo Ascierto has suggested adding to the list of medications for the treatment of coronavirus, a drug called "Tocilizumab", which is used mainly to treat arthritis in patients.
The doctor said he had treated two people affected by the coronavirus and their body responded admirably over the past 24 hours, reports the Italian newspaper la Reppublica.
The doctor does not say what effect this drug had on the patient's body, but he insists that he has noticed significant improvements within 24 hours of using it and appeals that this drug be widely used on patients affected by COVID-19.
