US President Donald Trump has “triggered yet another bout of outrage” by taking some coronavirus precautions into his own hands says Sky News host Chris Kenny.

US President Donald Trump had revealed he is taking hydroxychloroquine as a preventative measure against coronavirus, despite it being unproven as an effective COVID-19 treatment.

Mr Trump said the White House doctor cleared his use of the drug which he has been taking for the last week and a half in pill form and has had "zero symptoms”.

Mr Trump backed the drug as a potential coronavirus cure, despite warnings from top medical professionals in his administration.

Mr Kenny said “over the top” hysterics have been observed in the media over the drug which was cleared for use for the president.

“I guess Trump is now unofficially part of those clinical trials,” Mr Kenny said.

“But obviously, don't follow him or anyone else, follow the advice only of your doctor”.
