Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential use of Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) for treatment of patient diagnosed with Corona Virus SARS-CoV-2 infection, and showing symptoms of COVID-19.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Use of Stem Cells for COVID-19 Treatment Biological: WJ-MSCs Phase 1

Detailed Description:

COVID-19 is a condition caused by infection with Coronoa Virus (SARS-CoV-2). This virus has a high transmission rate and is spreading at very high rates. causing a worldwide pandemic. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and confirmed positive with the virus, will be given three IV doses of WJ-MSCs consisting of 1X10e6/kg. The three doses will be 3 days apart form each other.

Patients will be followed up for a period of three weeks to assess the severity of the condition and measure the viral titers.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: WJ-MSCs

WJ-MSCs will be derived from cord tissue of newborns, screened for HIV1/2, HBV, HCV, CMV, Mycoplasma, and cultured to enrich for MSCs.

WJ-MSCs will be counted and suspended in 25 ml of Saline solution containing 0.5% human serum Albumin, and will be given to patient intravenously.
