   8. New onset or worsening shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
   9. Nasal congestion or runny nose
   10. New loss of taste (ageusia) and/or smell (anosmia). Note: any of these symptoms (ageusia, anosmia) alone or in combination cannot be used as the SOLE qualifying symptoms for enrollment.

3. At higher risk for progression to more severe COVID-19

4. Oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter > 93% on room air. Note: at altitudes of >4000 feet above sea level, oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter > 91% on room air is permitted
5. Negative pregnancy test (if woman of childbearing potential)
6. Females of childbearing potential and males with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use acceptable contraceptive methods from screening to Day 28
7. The patient (or legally authorized decision maker) must give informed consent

4. Patients on chronic oxygen supplementation due to cardiopulmonary or other conditions
5. Patients with unstable comorbid conditions (e.g., decompensated congestive heart failure, COPD with exacerbation, current angina pectoris, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled asthma)
6. Patients with severe pulmonary comorbid conditions, including systemic steroid-dependent asthma, systemic steroid-dependent COPD, oxygen-dependent COPD, lung transplant, or cystic fibrosis
7. Patients who have received highly immunosuppressive therapy (to include systemic corticosteroids) or anti-cancer combination chemotherapy within 24 hours prior to first dose of study drug
