      Not yet, there are around 30 drugs and 4 vaccines under development by pharmaceutical companies to treat the disease.
      In the meanwhile, patients are treated at the hospital.

      Hi- not yet but there are a lot of people working on it. Discovering a new medicine takes a long time, but hopefully things will go well and we will find a way to treat the virus 🙂

      Hi- Not yet, but the best way to slow down the spread is to wash your hands with soap and to keep out of crowded places.

      Scientists are working on vaccines to immunize people.
