President Donald Trump said Monday he has been taking the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine and zinc to prevent being infected with COVID-19.

“I happen to be taking it,” Trump said during a roundtable event at the White House. “A lot of good things have come out. You’d be surprised at how many people are taking it, especially the front-line workers.”
