Although it's still waiting for the drug's approval, pharmaceutical company Merck has struck a deal to manufacture its COVID-19 antiviral pill Molnupiravir here in Canada.

The agreement also comes after Canada secured orders of half a million courses of Merck's drug, as well as one million orders of a similar antiviral pill from Pfizer. Both drugs are still being reviewed by Health Canada.
