Singapore's search for a cure and vaccine for Covid-19 (Straits Times)
To deal decisively with COVID-19, there is an urgent need for two items in the doctor’s inventory. First, a vaccine to immunise enough people in the population to prevent further propagation of the virus. Second, an effective and safe cure to treat patients with serious illness and complications from the disease.
