Authors' objectives: This rapid review was prepared in the context of the national emergency of COVID-19 outbreak. It provides an overview of recommendations and expert consensus as well as the current positions of several international organizations regarding the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19 in various contexts. In the circumstances of such public health emergency, INEAS provides health experts and decision-makers with as much scientific evidence as possible regarding the efficacy and safety of these drugsin the treatment of COVID-19 and remains on the lookout for any new data that could lead to changes in this document.
Authors' results and conclusions: To date, there is insufficient robust evidence from randomized clinical trials, which makes it impossible to have a clear position on the use of these two molecules in the treatment of COVID-19. This would explain the great heterogeneity of current practices in different countries.
