Cuba said on Friday it has enough reserves of an antiviral drug which has been used to treat COVID-19 in China to cover the island’s demand and also that of other countries.

Eduardo Martinez, president of the state group BioCubaFarma said: “We are receiving requests from a large group of countries that are asking us to make it available.

“We can supply it without risking the quantities required for the country.”
