Japan has approved Gilead Sciences Inc's remdesivir as a treatment for COVID-19, the health ministry said on Thursday, making it the country's first officially authorized drug for the disease.

Japan reached the decision just three days after the US drugmaker had filed for approval.

Remdesivir was granted authorization last week by the US Food and Drug Administration for emergency use for the disease caused by the coronavirus.
