China ‘leads world in coronavirus research’, followed by United States
China is leading the world in coronavirus research, with the highest number of active clinical studies under way, according to a new ranking by a financial information provider based in Britain.
The Coronavirus Research Index, launched by Finbold.com, has identified nearly 300 ongoing research projects in 39 countries and regions, all of which have confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus.
China has 60 ongoing studies, followed by 49 in the United States and 26 in France, according to an analysis of all active Covid-19 clinical research recorded by the US-based ClinicalTrials.gov database.
These countries “are putting the biggest efforts in understanding and dismantling coronavirus, thus helping to find an effective way to treat the disease”, Finbold.com said.
