Japan Tests Coronavirus Drug Despite Danger of Birth Defects

The drug, Avigan, is being developed by Fujifilm Holdings

Quote:
"They should be really careful," said Leen Delang, a virologist at the Belgian university KU Leuven who has studied Avigan. "Women between, let's say, 18 and 40they're not really a risk group" for the coronavirus "so I would not take them along in the trial."
