On going studies.: We don't know. Per Drugs.Com "Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is being used in conjunction with other medicines in a number of clinical trials for patients with COVID-19 (coronavirus).The trials are testing whether short-term treatment with Tamiflu will reduce length of illness, complications and the rate of death in COVID-19 patients."
