President Donald Trump called on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to act immediately on hydroxychloroquine after a new study showed the drug led to a lower mortality rate in COVID-19 patients.

Researchers at the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan analyzed records of over 2,500 patients and concluded 13 percent of those who received hydroxychloroquine alone died, versus 26.4 percent who received only standard of care.
