Are antibiotics helpful in treating Corona Covid-19 virus?

Antibiotics are the first treatment prescribed for people with pneumonia, but why don't doctors resort to this class of medication to deal with the emerging coronavirus?

Antibiotics are characterized by their ability to kill bacteria and fungi, but they are not feasible with viruses that live inside the cells of the human body, which is explained by the head of the Laboratory of Biotechnology and Virology at Novosibirsk University, Sergey Netsev saying: "Antibiotics have no antiviral effect, including Corona virus of all kinds, but its anti-bacterial effect.

Ivan Konovalov, an infectious disease specialist at the Pirogov Medical University in Russia, was quoted by Russian media as saying: "Antibiotics never affect corona virus, and may lead to side effects. This affects self-treatment. But if we talk about severe forms of corona virus in hospital, it Antibiotics must be used in treatment, because the SK virus creates a point of departure for bacteria and fungi to infect the lungs. "

For its part, the World Health Organization clarified the issue of the use of antibiotics with the Corona virus, saying: “ The effect of antibiotics is effective for bacteria only ".
