Medical Xpress article (27 February 2020) - Existing drugs may offer a first-line treatment for coronavirus outbreak

Title:
Existing drugs may offer a first-line treatment for coronavirus outbreak

Authors:
Petter I. Andersen, Aleksandr Ianevski, Hilde Lysvand, Astra Vitkauskiene, Valentyn Oksenych, Magnar Bjøras, Kaidi Telling, Irja Lutsar, Uga Dampis, Yasuhiko Irie, Tanel Tenson, Anu Kantele & Denis E. Kainov

Published:

From the article:
"The number of people infected with the new coronavirus continues to skyrocket, with more than 80,000 cases worldwide as of the end of February. But there's no vaccine or cure in sight, meaning that doctors can do little more than offer supportive treatment to the very sick and hope their bodies can survive the infection.  

Now, however, a coalition of European researchers says that already approved drugs might hold the key to treating the new virus. Their findings have been published as a pre-proof in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases."
