This, according to Interfax, said Deputy Minister of Health of Russia Sergei Kraevoy.
“They are even buying from us one drug, triazavirin, in order to conduct its clinical studies,” he said.
According to him, "so far no clearly proven specific antiviral properties have been noted."
He clarified that China specifically purchases triazavirin to assess the ability of the drug to fight coronavirus.
Earlier, Kraeva said that Russia has not yet developed a vaccine against coronavirus, since it requires a live virus for clinical trials to create it.
