Gilead Sciences Inc said on Tuesday it was in discussions with chemical and drug manufacturers to produce its experimental COVID-19 drug remdesivir for Europe, Asia and the developing world through at least 2022.

Public health officials around the world have agreed that testing and contact tracing are vital to containing the coronavirus pandemic.
