Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBrazilian President Jair Bolsonaro says his government will seek emergency use authorization for an Israeli-developed nasal spray against COVID-19 that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as a “miracle” treatment.
“EXO-CD24 is a nasal spray developed by the Ichilov Medical Center in Israel, with nearly 100 percent effectiveness — 29 out of 30 — against COVID in serious cases,” Bolsonaro tweets, two days after speaking on the phone with Netanyahu.
“A request to analyze this medication for emergency use will be sent shortly to [federal health regulator] Anvisa,” Bolsonaro writes.
