More than 20 COVID-19 vaccine candidates are currently under investigation, according to the World Health Organization, and many organizations are partnering to speed the development of vaccines and treatments. 

Johnson & Johnson announced that it would pair up with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to develop a vaccine candidate, with a goal of identifying a candidate for trials by the end of this month and J&J said it will scale up its manufacturing capabilities to meet global vaccination needs.

Sanofi and Regeneron announced that a phase 2/3 clinical trial of their rheumatoid arthritis drug Kevzara (sarilumab) is ready for enrollment. The companies hope to repurpose the medicine for treating the inflammatory immune response caused by the coronavirus.
