As the outbreak of novel coronavirus, COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, researchers are feverishly searching for effective remedies. As of March 31, 2020, there were 143 clinical trials of COVID-19 treatments or vaccines that are either ongoing or recruiting patients. New ones are being added every day. The drugs or treatments being tested range from repurposed flu treatments and stem cell therapy to malaria treatments (chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine) that were first developed decades ago.

However, do take note that most of these therapies under evaluation are mainly hospital-based treatments. These are not something that you take normally as a preventive strategy. For example, QT prolongation (causing irregular heart beats), hypoglycaemia, eye toxicity are some of the risks to be mindful of from drugs like hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.
