New Fund to Advance Strides Toward Vaccines and Treatments for Coronavirus
A new, $5-million COVID-19 research fund through Research Manitoba was announced today by Health, Seniors and Active Living Minister Cameron Friesen.
“This new fund will support a clinical trial to determine if a commonly used drug can safely be used as a treatment for COVID-19,” said Friesen. “The fund will also provide support for local researchers to develop solutions to health-care issues in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
