		</div><p>The European Commission says it has sealed a deal with pharmaceutical company Gilead to buy 500,000 treatment courses of remdesivir.</p>
<p>No treatment has yet proved able to prevent serious illness after a coronavirus infection, but the antiviral drug also known by its commercial name Veklury has helped some Covid-19 patients recover faster.<br />
Remdesivir was approved as a treatment for coronavirus by the Commission in July.</p>

<p>The EU’s executive arm said the joint procurement contract has been signed by 36 participants, including all 27 EU countries and the UK.<br />
The agreement will allow countries to purchase the drug for immediate use and stockpiling needs, Gilead said.<br />
“Today we secure access to remdesivir for the treatment of up to 500,000 patients in need,” said Stella Kyriakides, the commissioner for health and food safety.</p>
