Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine called on the Ohio Board of Pharmacy to reverse its new ban on hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19 infections, and the Board withdrew the proposed rule.

DeWine, a Republican, said in a statement that he believes, as does Dr. Steven Hahn, Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), that the matter of prescribing the drug is an individual health issue best settled between a doctor and a patient.
