New study shows hydroxychloroquine 'may be a benefit' in treating the coronavirus after all

A medical study out of New Jersey shows the drug hydroxychloroquine may help people with mild symptoms of COVID-19.

“We make it clear we can’t recommend it to be given,” said Andrew Ip, a lymphoma physician and director of the Division of Outcomes and Value Research at the John Theurer Cancer Center. “This is only an observational study. We can only recommend it in the context of a clinical trial. There may be a benefit for using this drug in an outpatient setting.”
