Given its antiviral effects on coronavirus in vitro (i.e., cell culture), chloroquine as prophylaxis against SARS coronavirus infection, at established malaria prevention doses, was proposed in 2004 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15351731/
"...Coronavirus patients on NHS wards have started receiving a controversial anti-malarial drug - despite debate over its effectiveness.

Chinese medical authorities have recommended its use but have not released supporting data to back up its effectiveness.
WhatsApp messages, seen by The Telegraph, from doctors involved in administering the drug at Barts imply that the drug will be given to patients for five days at a time.
