Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.To compare the symptoms relief over the time among the three treatment group. 2.To compare the difference in proportion of patients with improved clinical outcome defined by ordinal scale over the time between the treatment groups. 3.To compare the duration for conversion of Covid-19 positive status to negative between the treatment groups. Timepoint: 1. Daily assessment of the patient. 2. At the end of 28 days or discharge of the patient- whichever is earlier.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To compare the incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events between the three arms till the end of study. 2.To compare the proportion of patients discharged from hospital or transfer to HDU/ICU over the time between the three arms. 3.To compare the proportion of patients with improvement in oxygenation. 4.To compare the proportion of symptom free patients over the time between the three arms. Timepoint: 1.Daily assessment of the patient. 2. At the end of 28 days or discharge of the patient - whichever is earlier.
