Summary:

      This is a multi-arm, phase II trial for rapid efficacy and toxicity assessment of multiple
      therapies immediately after COVID19 positive testing in high-risk individuals. Therapies
      include stand-alone or combination treatment with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin,
      ivermectin, or camostat mesilate, artemesia annua. The hypothesis of this study is that the
      addition of agents that inhibit viral entry or replication of SARS-CoV-2 virus replication in
      will be devoid of additional moderate to severe toxicities, will prevent clinical
      deterioration, and will improve viral clearance in high risk individuals.
