Unfortunately, none.: No medications,prescription or over-the-counter can prevent Covid-19 infection.Until there is a vaccine,the only preventative measures are physical distancing,wearing a face covering,and hand-washing,as well as avoiding contact with people you know are ill.If you develop fever,cough,congestion,diarrhea,sore throat,new loss of taste or smell,chest pain,or difficulty breathing,call your doctor.

COVID 19: There are no protective medications at this time. Wash hands (or use sanitizer) often for at least 20 seconds. Wash hands before touching eyes, nose or mouth. Use a cloth cover over mouth & nose when around others. Stay home as much as possible. Avoid sick people. Distance at least 6 feet from others. Clean/ disinfect frequently used surfaces.
