Summary
The world is currently facing a great challenge of the current COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the world’s population and affected all aspects of life including health and economic affairs. This forced many countries to take measures, including preventing popular gatherings and aspects of life in clubs, universities and schools, and closing their borders, in addition to taking physical distancing measures and wearing face masks to prevent the spread of infection [1]. We tried to investigate the effect of ivermectin as a prophylaxis in close contacts of confirmed cases of COVID-19.
