Corrientes will investigate the efficacy of ivermectin against coronavirus (Argentina 2020-08-21)argentina is already using ivermectin as a treatment in many provinces. corrientes doesn't have many cases yet, so this trial will take time to end. but this is the biggest trial yet so this is good news

this is the biggest trial yet
AND well-designed! The two Bangladesh trials didn't have a placebo control arm. I initially ignored that but comments on /r/covid19 convinced me I shouldn't.
corrientes doesn't have many cases yet,
I feel like a creep when I think "That's too bad." :(
Which provinces? I live in Argentine, in Buenos Aires, and I don´t hear of doctors giving Ivermectin as a treatment yet.
chubut es una y en ezeiza tienen un protocolo con ivermectina a full. me estoy olvidando de otra provincia pero no me puedo acordar ahora

A formal clinical trial, with the biggest N = 500 of any trial proposed, I believe! Excellent news!
The province of Currents will initiate studies to verify the effectiveness of ivermectin, a drug for antiparasitic use, in treatments for patients with coronavirus, as announced by the local government.
After a month of evaluations, the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of the Northeast (Unne) approved in the last hours the project to study the use of ivermectin in patients with coronavirus, presented by the government of Corrientes .
It is an initiative of the Corrientes Cardiology Institute in conjunction with the Covid-19 Crisis Committee of the province’s Ministry of Public Health, which presented the design at the beginning of last July and reported that it was endorsed.
The development includes the manufacture by the Corrientes Medicines Plant (Plamecor) of oral doses of ivermectin for patients with covid-19 within the first 48 hours if diagnosed, explained the director of the Institute of Cardiology, Julio Vallejos.
The test will be voluntary until reaching 500 people, “double blind” and randomized, that is to say, there will be a group of patients who will receive the drug and others who will be administered placebo-type tablets made with starch.

Don't expect results soon.
Corrientes State has had only 250 Covid patients since April. Only 5 new cases in the capital city yesterday.

Hey, Juan, it's been a long time since I saw you here. How are you? What are you doing UP at this hour?
Yikes, only 5 cases? Can they team up with hospitals where covid is rife?
I wonder if you are THE most on-top-of-the-Latin-American-statistics person on Earth!
