Detailed Description

This is an exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (400 mg BID on D1 and 400 mg/day on D2 to D7) and azithromycin (500 mg/ 5 days) to treat mild ambulatory COVID-19 patients.

We aim to demonstrate decrease in hospital related complications among ambulatory patients with mild COVID-19 by treating them with HCQ and AZT on top of standard care compared to patients who receive standard care only.

Ambulatory patients on day 3 of symptoms and with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 will receive the treatment.

Patients that do not fulfill the inclusion/exclusion criteria or that is not willing to participate in the study will be invited to consent the use of their data as part of a "control" group.
