A medical team in Bangladesh has claimed to have found a cure to the novel coronavirus. In recent weeks, they administered a drug combination to 60 patients and the treatment has shown "astounding results".

"A frequently used antiprotozoal medicine called Ivermectin in a single dose with Doxycycline, an antibiotic, yielded virtually a near-miraculous result in curing the patients with COVID-19," PTI has quoted Dr. Tarek Alam as saying.

“My team was prescribing the two medicines only for coronavirus patients, most of them initially reporting with respiratory problems with related complaints, later to be tested COVID-19 positive," the doctor added.

As per the claim of the doctors, all 60 patients have recovered from the virus without showing any adverse reactions or side effects.
