Question: Is it true that some medications have already been proven to treat this coronavirus?

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Misinformation and truths about Coronavirus
section_headers: Misinformation and truths about Coronavirus
FALSE: You can treat coronavirus with antibiotics or antimalarial medicines
section_content: TRUE: There is no vaccine or treatment for coronavirus yet.
Researchers around the world are working hard to develop a vaccine for the
virus but we don’t know how long this will take. Estimates vary between 12 or
18 months.
Researchers are also looking into the use of different medicines that may help
treat coronavirus including arthritis, anti-malaria and HIV medicines. They
will not cure coronavirus but it may decrease the number of people who get the
virus and the severity of cases.
It is important, therefore, to not wait around for a vaccine or treatment for
coronavirus – and that’s why so many public health measures have been adopted
by Australia.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:

page_title: COVID-19 Mythbusting
section_headers: Hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment
section_content: Hydroxychloroquine is an unproven treatment. Clinical trials around the world
are testing whether it can treat COVID-19. However, according to the
TGA, “these medicines pose well-known serious risks
to patients including cardiac toxicity (potentially leading to sudden heart
attacks), irreversible eye damage and severe depletion of blood sugar
(potentially leading to coma)”. Learn more about hydroxychloroquine.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: What you need to know about coronavirus (COVID-19)
section_headers: Treatment
section_content: There is no treatment for COVID-19. Medical care can treat most of the
symptoms.
COVID-19 is caused by a virus. Antibiotics do not work on viruses.
Some reports suggest certain drugs, including hydroxychloroquine, can be used
to treat COVID-19. The Therapeutic Goods
Administration has not approved hydroxychloroquine,
or any other drug, for treating COVID-19, in Australia
We are supporting research to find effective treatments for the
virus. There is no approved vaccine for COVID-19, but global
efforts to develop a vaccine continue.
Limits on medications
Many Australians need medication to manage a health condition. Medication
shortages can threaten lives.
To make sure everyone has access to the medications they need, pharmacies must
limit sales of some prescription and over the counter medications.
Learn more about limits on prescribing
hydroxychloroquine and limits on other prescription and
over-the-counter medications.
