Chloroquine was banned years ago in my country due to its toxic effects (was making kids deaf amongst other things).

Are its downsides worth the upsides when used as a COVID-19 treatment?

The course of treatment is short, while some applications of chloroquine are long-term. The risk is likely considerably reduced.
