The study, [URL='https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2771265']published in JAMA Internal Medicine, involved 125 health care workers who were randomised to receive either 600 milligrams a day of hydroxychloroquine or a placebo, for a period of eight weeks. All had tested negative for the coronavirus that causes covid-19 prior to the study. They were periodically tested for infection once the trial began, most at the four- and eight-week marks.
Overall, 6.3 per cent of the hydroxychloroquine group was confirmed to have a positive test for the coronavirus during the trial, compared to 6.6 per cent of the placebo group.
