Delivering his Speech from the Throne, the King revealed that on the 1st week of January he tested positive to covid-19. He said it was during this time that the president of the Republic of China in Taiwan sent the anti-viral drug to him.

Revealing the drug the King said, “While we await the arrival of these vaccines, I wish to share that there is treatment through the use of an anti-viral drug, which is very useful in the fight against the pandemic”.

“We discovered this medicine after I tested COVID-19 positive for a couple of days on the first week of January 2021. I am grateful to the president of the Republic of China on Taiwan for sending through this medication to help treat me”.

“I do believe that my testing positive was to bring to light the discovery of this treatment. I did not announce it then but when I intended to mention it, I discovered that I was now negative”.

The King said he did not announce the news about the drug by that time until he recovered from the pandemic.

The King commended the republic of China in Taiwan on developing this wonder drug.

The King said he has since commanded the government to quickly procure the drug and ensure its availability to the nation.

“We have instructed government to immediately procure this drug, as it has remarkable success by producing a recovery in a short space of time”.

The King said the protocol of the drug requires that you take it for 10 days while the practice for COVID-19 says, be on medication for two weeks.

“We are hopeful that this year will be one in which we can declare that this outbreak is over”.

The King advised that EmaSwati must seek this drug as soon as one discovers they are positive. There have been impressive reports of a high recovery rate among those who were treated with the drip at an early stage.
