The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given emergency authorisation to use plasma to treat Covid patients.
The technique uses antibody-rich blood plasma from people who've recovered from the disease and has already been applied to 70,000 people in the US - in trials or for the gravely ill.
The FDA says initial trials indicate it is safe, although more are needed to prove effectiveness.
Several experts have questioned the robustness of studies into its use.
The announcement came a day after President Donald Trump accused the FDA of impeding the rollout of vaccines and therapeutics for political reasons, and on the eve of the Republican National Convention, where he will launch his campaign to win a second term in the White House.
