And to measure the effectiveness of colchicine in alleviating and controlling pulmonary and extra pulmonary complications of COVID-19

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Coronavirus Infection Drug: Colchicine 0.5 MG Drug: usual care treatment Phase 2

Detailed Description:
this is an open label, randomize control clinical trial ,the participant will be randomly assign in to two groups ( Group A and Group B), colchicine (group A) will treat with colchicine tablet alone or add to their Current treatment,Colchicine 0.5 mg twice daily (reduce to 0.5 mg/day, in patients with low body weight or develop side effects like gastrointestinal symptoms ),For 14 days or until symptoms subsides, while the control group will treat according to usual treatment guideline in COVID-19.
