The Abbott Laboratories test is used daily at the White House to test Trump and key members of his staff. President Donald Trump said Monday that he is taking a malaria drug to lessen symptoms should he get the new coronavirus, even though the drug is unproven for fighting COVID-19.
Trump told reporters he has been taking the drug, hydroxychloroquine, and a zinc supplement daily “for about a week and a half now.” Trump spent weeks pushing the drug as a potential cure for COVID-19 against the cautionary advice of many of his administration's top medical professionals.
The drug has the potential to cause significant side effects in some patients and has not been shown to combat the new coronavirus.RELATED: CoronavirusNOW.com, FOX launches
