National Consumption of Antimalarial Drugs and COVID-19 Deaths Dynamics: An Econometric Study
Author(s): Maxime Izoulet*
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) is an international public health problem with a high rate of severe clinical cases.
Several treatments are currently being tested worldwide. This paper focuses on anti-malarial drugs such as chloroquine or
hydroxychloroquine. We compare the dynamics of COVID-19 daily deaths in countries using anti-malaria drugs as a treatment
from the start of the epidemic versus countries that do not, the day of the 3rd death and the following 10 days. We then use
a ARIMA modeling to realize a short-term forecast of deaths dynamics for each group. We show that the first group have a
much slower dynamic in daily deaths that the second group. This ecological study is of course only one additional piece of
evidence in the debate regarding the efficiency of anti-malaria drugs, and it is also limited as the two groups certainly have
