Esta primeira versão de Medicamentos para prevenção da COVID-19: Orientação dinâmica da OMS aborda o uso de hidroxicloroquina para prevenção da COVID-19. Segue-se a publicação de uma análise sistemática e NMA que reuniu dados de seis estudos com 6.059 participantes que não tinham COVID-...19 e receberam hidroxicloroquina. Três estudos envolveram participantes que tiveram uma exposição conhecida a uma pessoa com infecção por SARS-CoV-2.
