Background: Early treatment of COVID-19 disease with repurposed drugs has been controversial. Most guidelines in the developed world recommend monoclonal antibodies or Ritonavir/Nirmatrelvir therapies for patients at risk of clinical deterioration, but accessibility to these in developing countries is a big challenge. The primary purpose of this study is to
