In fact, Dexamethasone medication is lowering the slope of the death toll; it gives the patients who need artificial respiration a new hope.
WHO is still looking for in-depth analysis to reflect the results in a broader range of patients. On the other hand, the researchers are still studying the interaction behaviors of the medication.
