A large-scale clinical trial was conducted last year involving more than 3,000 migrant workers in Tuas South dormitory.

SINGAPORE: A type of antiseptic throat spray, as well as an oral drug usually prescribed to treat malaria and arthritis, have been found to be effective in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in high-transmission settings, said Singapore researchers on Sunday .

A total of 3,037 asymptomatic healthy men aged between 21 and 60 were involved in the trial on a voluntary basis. Forty clusters, each defined as individual floors of the dormitory across five blocks, were randomly assigned to receive a six-week regimen. This was after adjustments were made for"potential confounders", like nationalities and compliance to medications.
