Check for updates droxychloroquine and azithromycin. Ivermectin (IVM) was suggested empirically as known for in vivo anti dengue Flavivirus [5] and in vitro antiviral activity against HIV [6] dengue [7, 8] and chikungunya [8] . In care home IVM is an option for treatment of scabies, including for community infection control [9] . In the other hand IVM is worldwide used for the treatment of river blindness caused by onchocerciasis infection [10] . Side effects including mainly allergic rash and decrease in tension, were declared at a very low rate [9, 10] . Of the 25 PCR-positive patients, 10 chose to take the IVM treatment (group 1) and 15 chose not to take IVM (group 2). Patients of the group 1 received a single dose of 200 micrograms/kg body weight. Individual daily medical check was scheduled for the 2 months of the lockdown period that lasted from April 3 to May 15, 2020 for all patients. The monitoring protocol, imple-
