Meanwhile, a new study has revealed that many COVID-19 survivors are likely to be at greater risk of developing mental illness.
This was predicted by psychiatrists on Monday, November 9, after a large study found 20% of those infected with the coronavirus are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder within 90 days.
Anxiety, depression, and insomnia were most common among recovered COVID-19 patients in the study who developed mental health problems.
In another related development, Pfizer/BioNTech has revealed the first interim results in large-scale trials of its vaccine which is in its phase 3 trial.
The vaccine is said to be 90% effective and would be sold at different prices between countries and regions when available.
