Eligibility

Recruits 660 Vulnerable population selected. Participants must provide written informed consent prior to study procedures and agree to adhere to planned study procedures through Day 28. Subject information and informed consent forms are provided (documents include Danish, Greek and Spanish versions listed in trial documents). No assent process for minors is described in the provided record..

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Clinical risk based on age ≥ 55 years or an adult (age ≥ 18 years) with an immunosuppressed condition.\n- Positive test for SARS-CoV-2 within ≤5 days (if >1 test, the first positive is within ≤5 days). Tests may include an institutional-based nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), or any protocol-approved rapid test.\n- Within ≤5 days from symptom onset, if symptomatic from current SARS-CoV-2 infection.\n- Agrees to not participate in another clinical trial for the treatment or management of SARS-CoV-2 infection through Day 7, or until hospitalized or significant disease progression if prior to Day 7 (defined by ordinal category 4 or 5).\n- Participant provides written informed consent prior to study procedures and understands and agrees to adhere to planned study procedures through Day 28."}

Exclusion criteria
