Only if hospitalized: COVID-19 infection is worldwide, in all but some isolated areas. The goal is to keep people separated so that the clinics and hospitals are not overwhelmed. Patients can be presumed positive regardless of whether they got tested or not, as there's no way to test everyone. No good outpatient treatment found yet. Trials of various meds are done for hospitalized patients. (Mar. 2020)

No specific meds: No cure has been found at this time for the treatment of COVID 19 Disease. If a person is very ill and hospitalized, their medical provider may use a number of medications to address their symptoms. There is no one medication that must be used for the treatment of COVID 19 at this time. (5/5/20)
