The study will include 2,000 people who have been exposed to the disease, including health workers.

Dr. Allison Suttle, Chief Medical Officer of Sanford Health, says the clinical trial will study whether the anti-malarial drug is effective in treating the novel coronavirus:

The trial will be in two segments, one for patients with coronavirus, and the other a random sample of people who are either exposed to the virus or considered high-risk.
