CLINICAL trials currently being undertaken at GP practices in York to will no longer include the drug hydroxychloroquine - after the World Health Organisation said patients receiving the drug had a higher estimated mortality rate.

The Press reported last month that York is running clinical trials as part of a national scheme to try to find treatments to fight coronavirus.

An NHS spokesman said hydroxychloroquine has been removed from the trial but the trial continues with other medicines.
