The FDA issued Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, which allowed the Strategic National Stockpile to accept donations of millions of doses of the drugs.
The EUA issued to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) allows the donated products to be distributed to states for patients with COVID-19. It also allows federal agencies to begin testing the two drugs against COVID-19.
