Healthcare workers in India should use hydroxychloroquine, a drug used to treat malaria, to prevent contracting the new COVID-19 disease, its national task force for the disease said.

The task force recommended healthcare workers involved in the care of confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 take hydroxychloroquine, as well another group at high risk of contracting the new illness: asymptomatic household contacts of confirmed cases.
