Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The rate of virus inhibition [Time Frame: Day 0, 4, 7, 14 and 21] Novel coronaviral nucleic acid is measured in nose / throat swab at each time point. Time (days) from randomization to recovery defined as Absence of symptoms of greater than mild severity for 24 hours Not requiring supplemental oxygen beyond pre-COVID baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. The disease prorogation-temperature [Time Frame: Day 0 till day 21] 2. Body temperature will be followed every day during time frame. Absence of fever, defined as at least 48 hours since last temperature = 38.0°C without the use of fever-reducing medications 3. The disease prorogation-respiratory function 1 [Time Frame: Day 0 till day 21] 4. Respiratory rate will be followed every day during time frame. 5. The disease prorogation-respiratory function 2 [Time Frame: Day 0 till day 21] 6. Oxygen saturation of blood will be followed every day during time frame.
