"This is an incredible achievement. We commend the researchers around the world who have come together to systemically evaluate experimental therapeutics," he wrote.

As the countries around the world continue to combat the ongoing global pandemic of the COVID-19 coronavirus, the head of the World Health Organization announced that the first trial of a vaccine that might help deal with this calamity has finally begun.
