Trump Promotes Use of Hydroxychloroquine

USA President Donald Trump said that he has been consuming the anti-malarial hydroxychloroquine daily even though his government has advised against it. 

The drug should only be administered for COVID-19 in a hospital or research setting due to potentially fatal side effects. Trump told reporters he has been taking the drug, hydroxychloroquine, and a zinc supplement daily ``for about a week and a half now.''

Trump said his doctor did not recommend the drug to him, but he requested it from the White House physician.
