Dr Atthasit said the ministry will also talk with Pfizer on Friday over procurement of another Covid-19 antiviral medicine, Paxlovid. About 50% of those who received Molnupiravir did not require hospitalisation and none of them died. There were no deaths in the group that received Paxlovid and Ritonavir.
