CORONAVIRUS | India, the world's largest producer of this anti-malarial drug, is now partially lifting its bar its export.

| India has agreed to sell hydroxychloroquine tablets to Malaysia for use in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, a Malaysian minister toldon Wednesday, with New Delhi partially lifting its bar on exports of the anti-malarial drug.

New Delhi had last month put a hold on exports of hydroxychloroquine to secure supplies for itself, before agreeing this month to supply it to some of its neighbours as well as "nations who have been particularly badly affected by the pandemic". In one small French study, some Covid-19 patients showed improvements, but there was no way to know if the drug was the reason. Results published in April from another study in France and one in China found no benefit in patients treated with the drug. Dozens more clinical studies are underway around the world.it had "faced challenges" in securing the drug, which it said may be able to reduce the progression of the disease and lung inflammation.

Malaysia has the third-highest number of infections of Covid-19 in Southeast Asia, with more than 5,000 cases, 83 of whom have died.
