With a fifth case of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) having been confirmed in the country, the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) is considering importing and using the Cuban anti-viral drug, Interferon Alfa-2B, as a possible treatment for the respiratory illness.
Five persons have now tested positive for COVID-19 here.
There are currently four active cases of COVID-19 in Guyana while one person has died of the disease.
While there is no known cure for COVID-19, the Interferon Alfa-2B drug was among 30 medicines chosen by the Chinese National Health Commission to fight the virus.
According to reports, the drug is currently being used in Italy and is being requested by countries all around the world.

Actemra and Kevzara are highly similar pharmaceuticals -- interleukin 6 (IL-6) inhibitors
approved as treatments for rheumatoid arthritis.
COVID-19 feature a dangerous and excessive immune reaction called a cytokine storm.
The reason that researchers view IL-6 inhibitors as a promising avenue here~
Chinese health authorities have listed an elevated IL-6 condition as a sign of the disease getting worse.
As inhibitors of IL-6, both Actemra and Kevzara might work to ease those patients' symptoms.
