About

The purpose of this study is to determine whether hydroxychloroquine is an effective prophylactic regimen to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers. Participants will be randomized into two parallel groups. The first arm will evaluate the use of hydroxychloroquine every-other-day plus standard measures of protection for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. The second arm will evaluate the use of standard measures of protection for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. The target enrollment is 320 participants. Each study participant will be monitored for SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in weekly visits or for the development of COVID-19 symptoms for 8 weeks.
