The President’s independent foreign policy is now bearing
fruit.
Amidst the spreading of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the
news of shortage of test kits, masks, and necessary medicines it is always
welcome to have one when help is needed.
Russian Ambassador to the Philippines Igor Khovaev said one
of the leading Russian pharmaceutical company is ready to donate medicine for
the treatment of the coronavirus disease or COVID-19 in the Philippines.

Khovaev said Russian company Polysan is offering free
medicine they developed called "Cycloferon" which reportedly has been
effective in curing the symptoms of those infected with the viral illness in
Russia and China.
Cycloferon they explain is an
over the counter medicine used to treat patients with major viral and bacterial
infections, such as influenza, acute respiratory viral infections, and
tuberculosis. Ambassador Khovaev called the drug "highly-effective"
and said that in China, its effects are " very, very encouraging, and very
positive."
"It's offered as donation just to extend
the hand of help to our Filipino partners so now this offer is under
consideration in Manila,” he said, adding that Russia has been successful in
containing and treating its COVID-19 patients.
As of March 12, there are 28 confirmed cases of
coronavirus in Russia.
"To date, there is no specific medicine
recommended to prevent or treat the new coronavirus," the World Health
Organization said in its website."However, those infected with the virus
should receive appropriate care to relieve and treat symptoms, and those with
severe illness should receive optimized supportive care."
