Abstract

The project will examine whether internal medicine patients hospitalized acutely who have tested positive for 2019-nCoV can benefit from treatment with the drug hydroxychloroquine, which is used to combat viral infection, and the antiviral, immunomodulatory and antibacterial drug azithromycin. The aim is to find a treatment that can reduce hospitalization time, the number of admissions to intensive care units and mortality.
