King & Queen of Spain hold a video conference with Clínico San Carlos to discuss the WHO Solidarity Trial

1/4/2020

The King and Queen of Spain continued to work from home and hold video conferences and telephone calls.

Their Majesties held a joint video conference with the medical team and scientist at the Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid. The Clínico San Carlos (San Carlos Clinic) is the first hospital in Spain and the second in the world to participate in the global 'Solidarity Trial' launched by the World Health Organization (WHO).

It aims to discover an effective treatment against COVID-19. The study will potentially include thousands of patients from many countries and will compare the safety and effectiveness of four different drugs or drug combinations against COVID-19. The trial will decrease the time needed to gather evidence regarding which drugs work. The information will be uploaded onto an electronic platform, where it will be analyzed by the WHO.

Another small flash of colour from Letizia, but in keeping with the present sombre mood, not enough for anyone to be able to see what she's wearing with its smart black-edged V-trim. Once again Felipe's tie coordinates, so they look every inch a working couple, and the glimpse of turquoise helps lighten another very sober jacket.

I like the neat silver studs she wears and that hair is still kept plain and straight. Make-up is so light it seems almost absent, though that may be partly due to uncertain video lighting.They both look commendably engaged and up-to-speed.
