Summary

This study aimed to see if hydroxychloroquine could safely prevent COVID-19 in older adults living in long-term care homes. It planned to give the drug to people who were at high risk due to age and health conditions. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
