India has approved the manufacturing and marketing of a generic version of Gilead Sciences’ COVID-19 treatment remdesivir, Reuters reports.

The drug, which will be marketed under the brand name Covifor, will likely be priced at 5,000 to 6,000 rupees ($66-$79) for a 100 milligram dose, Hetero said.
