Trump says he's taking hydroxychloroquine to prevent
COVID-19, despite risks of unproven drug
President Trump revealed on Monday that he has been taking hydroxychloroquine to prevent COVID-19, despite the fact that the anti-malarial drug’s effectiveness against the virus remains unproven. The Food and Drug Administration in April cautioned against using the drug outside of clinical trials or hospitals, warning it could cause heart-related issues. Paula Reid reports.
