There are many claims on the Internet that Ridciclovir has “all worked” in patients in a short period of time. In response, Professor Cao Bin, vice president of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said the claim was untrue, “The clinical study only started today, so how can we know the results?” Ridecivir has not yet been approved for marketing in any country, and its safety and efficacy have not been confirmed. Ridecivir is an investigational drug and no data are available for the new coronavirus.
