Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new type of coronavirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the use of Remdesivir on the outcomes of COVID-19 patients at Embung Fatimah Hospital, Batam City.

This type of research is descriptive analytic with retrospective data collection. The analysis uses the Chi-square test to see the relationship between variables. The results obtained based on the gender of male patients by 53%, based on the age of 46-55 years by 32%, and based on the length of treatment the most days were found to be less than 14 days by 65%. The number of uses of Remdesivir in each COVID-19 patient is different, the highest result in the number of uses is less than equal to 6 injections by 81%, with the dose given is 200 mg on the first day, followed by 100 mg on day 2- 5. The results of the Chi-square test with a p-value of 0.029 show that the use of Remdesivir on the outcome of COVID-19 patients can be used.
