“Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine significantly decrease the duration of viral shedding. These agents (if available) could be used to mitigate/curtail the spread of this virus. They may be used in elderly patients with comorbidities at risk of progression and death.”
“Zn inhibits viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase (replicase) . Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are potent Zn ionophores that increase intracellular Zn concentrations.”
