Don't know what the dosage would be for CV19 though.

According to this link:

Chloroquine:

Recommends chloroquine 500 mg PO BID x10 days for treatment of COVID-19 pneumonia of mild, moderate, or severe disease

Hydroxycholoroquine:

The study recommends hydroxychloroquine 400 mg BID load, then 200 mg BID for 4 days
Note this is a shorter course than the 10 day chloroquine course noted above

The University of Michigan COVID-19 guidance document recommends:
Adult dosing: 600 mg PO BID x2 doses (load), then 200 mg PO TID
Pediatric dosing (<18 years): 10 mg/kg (max: 600 mg/dose) PO BID x2 (load), then 3 mg/kg PO TID (max: 200 mg/dose)
