Various states have reported a shortage of Remdesivir drug, which is being used to treat critical Covid-19 patients. Last week, the Centre slashed the price of Remdesivir by nearly Rs 2,000 per injection. The drug will now be sold for as little as Rs 899. However, in Kolkata, most stores that India Today TV visited said their stock was over.
