Banning doctors from prescribing hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 is a “violation” of the doctor-patient relationship, a Federal MP believes.

Liberal Party backbencher Craig Kelly, a well-known advocate for hydroxychloroquine, wants the decision on whether to use the antimalarial for coronavirus to be left in the hands of doctors.
