GEORGE FREY / AFPIndia Thursday fully lifted an export ban on hydroxychloroquine, a drug favored by US President Donald Trump as a treatment against coronavirus, as questions remain over the malaria medicine’s effectiveness against COVID-19.

India’s top biomedical research body has backed the use of the anti-malarial hydroxychloroquine as a preventive against coronavirus.
