The use of chloroquine has been suggested by doctors that have experimented its use in treatment of COVID-19 in China and France. Chloroquine is a well-known drug used to treat malaria and some other ailments

Nigeria urgently needs a medical solution to the crises caused by Corona virus disease. Stay-at-home order, social distancing and personal hygiene approach currently in force are laudable; but additional steps are required to conclusively bring the menace of the virus to an end. In as much as there is, so far, no vaccine or globally accepted cure for the dreaded disease, research findings point to meaningful facts about how we can try out a local remedy with global significance.

Evidence abound to show that chloroquine is the therapy for corona virus and can become the game changer. There are two prongs to this: treating the infected person and preventing the uninfected person from getting the infection. That is curative and prophylactic therapy. In approaching this issue, there could be a curative dosage as well as a prophylactic dosage as defined prescriptions as possible options for the fight against the disease.

This suggestion can be illustrated with a hypothetical country of 20 individuals. Assuming three persons are confirmed to be infected and are in isolation receiving treatment. We assume that four persons have contacted the virus and without any symptoms. Since they have not been tested, nobody is aware of their health status and they are in their communities interacting freely with others.
