Abstract

Researchers from Odense University Hospital will investigate the potential for preventing the disease from developing in society's most vulnerable - retirement home residents. The researchers will seek to identify whether hydroxychloroquine and dietary supplements reduce the risk of coronavirus infection, severity of pathogenesis and the subsequent risk of admission to hospital or death. 206 people over the age of 65, who live in the Danish municipalities of Odense, Svendborg or Kerteminde, are participating in the trial.
