5. Study Description
Brief Summary
There is no known definite treatment after exposure to SARS-CoV-2, but the some animal and clinical trials confirmed the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or chloroquine against SARS-CoV-2. Thus, in this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine as post exposure prophylaxis for SARS-CoV-2.
Primary end point: comparison the rate of COVID-19 between PEP with HCQ and control group.
Secondary end point: Comparison of the rate of COVID-19 according to the contact level (time, place, degree of wearing personal protective equipment).
Safety comparison: Safety verification by identifying major side effects in the HCQ group."
