Is deemed by the Investigator to be ineligible for any reason.

Additional exclusion criteria for camostat protocol:

Participant has a history of gout and coagulation disorders.
Participant has a concomitant bacterial respiratory infection as documented by a respiratory culture with microbiologic growth. NOTE: Participants on empirical antibiotic treatment for possible but unproven bacterial pneumonia, but who are positive for SARS-CoV-2, are allowed in the study.
