Hani Amir Aouissi*

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic caused a lot of human damage, as of August 07, more than 19 million cases and almost 713000 related deaths are noted. Since there is no efficient vaccine, the alternative that divided opinions for a long time is an old medicine called hydroxychloquine. The aim of this study is to synthesize the different highlights of the most important studies published in the last months. After a precise study of the available bibliography dealing with this subject and the addition of an adapted example, which is the current situation of Algeria, we concluded that in brief, given the inexistence of a better solution, this protocol must be applied in view of its effectiveness, while waiting for the vaccine.
