Enrollment of subject into the trial shall only occur after providing written permission to voluntarily participate into the study by signing and dating the informed consent form before starting any trial related treatment. 30 cases of COVID-19 will be enrolled into the trial with a 3:1 proportion, divided into two groups. First group with confirmed cases of COVID-19 shall be treated with Ivermectin (6mg once daily in day 0,1,7 and 8) plus Azithromycin (500mg once daily for 4 days) plus Cholecalciferol (400 IU twice daily for 30 days) in an outpatient regimen. The second group with confirmed cases of COVID-19 who refused treatment were shall be allocated as the control group for monitoring.
