French officials said Friday that dozens of heart incidents have been linked to hydroxychloroquine, a malaria and lupus treatment that’s being explored as a way to treat COVID-19 and was rated as the “most effective therapy“ for the illness by doctors in a global survey.

A network monitoring adverse effects linked to COVID-19 treatments found 100 cases of adverse reactions, including 82 serious cases, with four deaths.
