The United Arab Emirates has been using chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to successfully treat COVID-19 patients amid the coronavirus outbreak, according to the health ministry.
Initial studies have shown success in using the anti-malarial and anti-inflammatory drugs in treating the illness caused by the new coronavirus, spokeswoman Dr. Farida al-Hosani said on Saturday during a press conference.
Doctors in the UAE continue to monitor of the affect the drugs have on reducing the duration of a patient’s illness and the severity of their symptoms, explained al-Hosani.
The UAE has recorded a comparatively high number of recoveries in a short period of time because most cases in the country have had only minor symptoms, according to the spokeswoman.
Most patients with few or no symptoms recovered within two to three weeks in the UAE, she added.
The number of confirmed cases has been increasing daily as a result of the high number of tests being administered. Al-Hosani said this helps identify those who are infected as well as people they came into contact with and therefore making it easier to quarantine and contain.
The UAE has recorded 588 recoveries out of 3,736 cases as of Saturday. Only 20 people have died.

Obviously...anecdotal.
Those damned Arab flu bros. How dare they.
Calling Dr. Farci, calling Dr. Farci! Shove the anecdotal evidence up your a$$.
HCQ Ping
Time to ask Fauci if lives could have been saved if they had listened to Trump and embraced hydroxychlorquine earlier.
For the first time in history, Muslims do something to make journalists angry.
Fauci has turned us into a 3rd world country. Time to get rid of him. Let Schumer and Pelosi go nuts.
Have I missed something? I thought New York was going to be treating 1100 Coronavirus patients with Hydroxycloroquine a week and a half ago. I’ve been searching for info on this. Watch the press briefings daily. Still no news.
Looking at the graph, that’s of countries that had decent medical facilities. Iran must be taking it really hard now.
It must have worked. If it didn’t it would be everywhere
Good point.
My apologies. On another thread, I questioned your motives, after posting 2 anti-HCQ articles in a row. I should have read a little longer.
Thanks!
Maybe because a vast number of Moose Limbs are inbred and that limits their immune systems?
Don’t shoot the messenger. Just stating a fact.
I tend to trust these trials from outside the United States. The results are unlikely to dictated by Trump Derangement Syndrome.
