>Our findings reveal that remdesivir and chloroquine are highly
effective in the control of 2019-nCoV infection in vitro. Since these
compounds have been used in human patients with a safety track
record and shown to be effective against various ailments, we
suggest that they should be assessed in human patients suffering
from the novel coronavirus disease. (Conclusion from the letter to Nature https://www.nature.com/articles/s41422-020-0282-0.pdf)
