A team of infectious disease experts at the University of Queensland in Brisbane say they have seen two existing medications manage to wipe out COVID-19 infections.
Chloroquine, an anti-malarial drug, and HIV-suppressing combination lopinavir/ritonavir have both reportedly shown promising results in human tests and made the virus ‘disappear’ in infected patients.

What type of treatment is available for the novel coronavirus?
There currently isn’t a vaccine against developing COVID-19. Antibiotics are also ineffective because COVID-19 is a viral infection and not bacterial.
If your symptoms are more severe, supportive treatments may be given by your doctor or at a hospital. This type of treatment may involve:
Fluids to reduce the risk of dehydration
Medication to reduce a fever
Supplemental oxygen in more severe cases
People who have hard time breathing on their own due to COVID-19 may need a respirator.
When do you need medical care?
About 80 percent Trusted Source of people recovers from COVID-19 without needing hospitalization or special treatment.
If you’re young and healthy with only mild symptoms, your doctor will likely advise you to isolate yourself at home and to limit contact with others in your household. You’ll likely be advised to rest, stay well hydrated, and to closely monitor your symptoms.
If you’re an older adult, have any underlying health conditions, or a compromised immune system, be sure to contact your doctor as soon as you notice any symptoms. Your doctor will advise you on the best course of action.
If your symptoms worsen with home care, it’s important to get prompt medical care. Call your local hospital, clinic, or urgent care to let them know you’ll be coming in, and wear a face mask once you leave your home. You can also call 911 for immediate medical attention.
Coronavirus survival times and transmission efficiency in warm and wet air:
Studies have shown that warm and wet air lowers both the influenza virus survival times and the virus to human transmission efficiency. Airborne influenza virus survival may be less at air temperatures above 30°C (86°F) where the humidity is above 50%, (exceeds an absolute humidity above 0.135 kg/m3). Virus survival times were much lower at higher temperatures and higher relative humidity (e.g., 38°C [100°F], and relative humidity of >95%).
Virus-laden droplet nuclei are more efficiently produced at lower relative humidity because of increased evaporation of expelled droplet particles, such that more viruses remain airborne longer. In do survive and infectious in air with a low absolute humidity [such as <0.007 kg water/kg air]. When airborne droplets evaporate, then very light airborne droplet nuclei are formed. Virus in airborne droplet nuclei may remain in the air for many hours.
