Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are associated with reduction in COVID-19 patients' viral load. This study aims to assess whether empirical prescription of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for patients with suspected COVID-19 is associated with less need for hospitalization Methods: A telemedicine team evaluated suspected contraindications COVID-19 were detected, outpatients treatment with with flu-like symptoms, hydroxychloroquine if no and azithromycin was prescribed after consent from subjects. Patients were monitored daily by telemedicine appointments. Results: Of the 636 symptomatic outpatients, 412 started treatment with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin and 224 refused medications (control group). Need for hospitalization was 1.9% in the treatment group and 5.4% in the control group (2.8 times greater) and number needed to treat was 28 (NNT = 28). In those who started treatment before versus after the seventh day of symptoms, the need for hospitalization was 1.17% and 3.2%, respectively. Conclusion: Empirical treatment with hydroxychloroquine associated with azithromycin for suspected cases of COVID-19 infection reduces the need for hospitalization (p< 0.001).

Background In the past two decades, severe acute respiratory syndromes have been one of the most critical threats to global health. Coronaviruses (Mers-CoV, SARS-Cov) are virus that may affect humans and cause severe infections and deaths worldwide (1). In December 2019, a new Beta-coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2, was associated with a set of respiratory tract infections in Wuhan, Hubei province in China, and spread rapidly across continents (2). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the outbreak was declared a public health emergency of international interest on January 30, 2020 and on March 11, WHO announced COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic (3). Patient’s clinical characteristics from China revealed that comorbities such as diabetes, hypertension and others cardiovascular diseases were related to poor outcomes and high death rates, with three to four times more chances..
