Reducing hospitalisation and severe illness in this population has important individual and public health benefits.

Chloroquine inhibits coronavirus replication at in vitro concentrations that are not cytotoxic and within a range of blood concentrations achievable during standard antimalarial treatment. Chloroquine inhibits viral replication through interference with glycosylation of coronavirus ACE2 receptors, required for viral entry, and downstream phagolysosome alkalisation, interfering with the low-pH-dependent steps of viral fusion and uncoating. Chloroquine also has anti-inflammatory properties and could provide benefit through this mechanism in Covid-19, where a cytokine storm has been described in critically ill patients. Hydroxychloroquine is a less toxic metabolite of chloroquine, has similar anti-inflammatory properties, and is more potent against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Arm 1: Chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '7784', 'city': 'Cape Town', 'state': 'Western Cape', 'country': 'South Africa', 'facility': 'Khayelitsha Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -33.92584, 'lon': 18.42322}}, {'zip': '7925', 'city': 'Cape Town', 'state': 'Western Cape', 'country': 'South Africa', 'facility': 'Groote Schuur Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -33.92584, 'lon': 18.42322}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Sean Wasserman, MBChB', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'CIDRI-Africa, University of Cape Town'}, {'name': 'Graeme Meintjes, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'CIDRI-Africa, University of Cape Town'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'infoTypes': ['STUDY_PROTOCOL'], 'timeFrame': 'Recruitment period is planned for a maximum of 12 months, rate dependent on patient numbers.
