Qld to trial COVID-19 treatment

Queensland researchers are finding it difficult to enrol coronavirus patients in a COVID-19 treatment trial due to the low number of active cases in the state. Scientists want to trial anti-malaria and anti-HIV drugs on coronavirus patients who are ill-enough for hospitalisation but not in need of intensive care. Queensland has less than 300 active cases of the virus, with six new cases confirmed on Monday night. Health officials have confirmed a virus cluster in Cairns after an infected lab technician from Brisbane visited the city. Image: Getty
