- Subject should not have received a prior systemic anti-viral treatment for Covid19 disease.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with known hypersensitivity to hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, azithromycin, erythromycin, or any other macrolide, ketolide or any of the excipients of the hydroxychloroquine and/or azithromycin-based specialty used.
- Severe hepatic impairment and patients with severe cholestasis.

- Patients post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are eligible to the Part B treatments but the potential toxic effects of hydroxychloroquin and azithromycin on hematopoietic stem cells should be taken into consideration by prescribers.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP, as defined in appendix 2) should have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
