At present there is no generally recognized effective pharmaceutical treatment to the disease, although it is to a great extent for patient contracting the severe form of the disease. The development of new strategies to prevent or control the spread of COVID-19 infections and the understanding of the virus replication, and pathogenesis required immediate action. Therefore, this systematic review was to investigate the biochemical effect of the virus in human, symptoms, prevention, statistics cases and summarize the evidence regarding chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19.
