Hydroxychloroquine is a widely used drug. It is considered safe but, like all drugs, it has risks and counterindications. There is not enough evidence to say that it can reliably treat or cure COVID-19, but that’s only because the matter needs further study.

Unfortunately, the media have created such a massive political stink over this drug that some people who might benefit from the treatment won’t even participate in trials for it — apparently because of their politics.
