Out come will be recorded by documenting PCR reports at 48, 96 and 144 hours.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

INTERVENTION It will be a randomized controlled trial which will be done on COVID-19 patients proven by PCR fulfilling the criteria (asymptomatic/mild to moderate severity). They will be divided into two groups after randomization. Group A will be administered Ivermectin single dose of 12grams along with Chloroquine as per existing hospital guidelines and group B will be given Chloroquine alone. Dose of Ivermectin to be repeated at 1 week if PCR stays negative. PCR will be done on alternate days (48, 96 and 144hours) and the duration at which the PCR becomes negative will be compared.
