The anti-coronavirus drug developed by the pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson is effective against the Indian strain. The announcement was published on the official website of the company.
According to Johnson & Johnson, their vaccine is effective against other, more common strains.
The company claims that the anti-coronavirus drug they developed protects against the Indian strain for at least eight months.
The chief scientist of the World Health Organization, Soumya Swaminathan, said that the so-called Indian strain is at least twice as contagious as the original version of the virus.
