- Percentage of participants who experience these events by Day 28 [ Time Frame: Day 1 to 28 days ]
Percentage of participants who experience these events by Day 28
Progress to severe and/or critical COVID-19; Death from any cause
- Percentage of clinical recovery participants [ Time Frame: Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 ]Percentage of clinical recovery participants from baseline to Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28
- The change of COVID-19 symptom scores [ Time Frame: Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 ]The change of "COVID-19 symptom scores" from baseline to Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28, the score ranges from 0 to 33 and higher scores mean a worse symptom.
- The change of WHO clinical progression scale [ Time Frame: Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 ]The change of "WHO clinical progression scale" from baseline to Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28, the score ranges from 0 to 10 and higher scores mean a worse clinical progression.

- The change of Chest CT scan [ Time Frame: Days 7 or 10 ]The change of Chest CT scan from baseline to Days 7 or 10. The change from baseline involves not changed, getting worse, getting better as assessed by the investigator.
- Percentage of the participants who have progression of COVID-19 though Day 28 [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Progress to severe and/or critical COVID-19; Death from any cause
- Percentage of participants whose "WHO clinical progression scale" reduced at least one level [ Time Frame: Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 ]Percentage of participants whose "WHO clinical progression scale" reduced at least one level from baseline to Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28. The score ranges from 0 to 10 and the higher scores mean a worse clinical progression level.
