COVID-19 is a public health emergency of international concern and there is no specific treatment for it. This fact, together with the excellent safety profile of Ivermectin combine to warrant research on its potential use. In an attempt to understand Ivermectin and its potential use in COVID-19 the ASSAf webinar aims to unpack common questions on this topic and to highlight the involvement of researchers and regulatory bodies in finding answers to some of them.
