Meanwhile, drugmaker Bharat Biotech on Friday said it has scrapped agreements with two Brazilian companies amid controversy over a $324 million deal between the South American country and Bharat Biotech for the import of 20 million doses of the made-in-India COVID-19 vaccine Covaxin.
The termination of the agreements with Precisa Medicamentos and Envixia Pharmaceuticals came after the deal set off a major political row in Brazil and spawned an investigation by authorities in the country.
