Confirmed COVID-19 at screening stage: positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA laboratory test with nucleic acid amplification techniques (NAAT) or SARS-CoV-2 antigen with immunochromatographic assay. SARS-CoV-2 test results obtained up to 5 days prior to randomization may be taken into account upon availability of supporting documentation. 4. Mild or moderate SARS-CoV-2 induced infection. 5. At least one of the following COVID-19 symptoms as of the time of screening and randomization: nasal congestion or rhinitis; sore throat; dyspnoea or respiratory distress on exertion; cough; tiredness; pain in muscles or throughout the body; headache; chills; fever (body temperature \>38 ⁰С); nausea; vomiting; diarrhea; anosmia; ageusia. 6.
