Oxford’s Dr. Martin Landray, the co-leader in the study of Dexamethasone and its effect on coronavirus, said he was surprised about the great results from the clinical trial.
Also, Sinovac is moving into phase three of their trials on a coronavirus vaccine.
And, Apple and Google are rolling out an updated version of their contact tracing apps just in time for an increase in cases in states like Florida and Texas.
