Ivermectin for Covid-19

Discussion of scholar papers published until end of June and beginning of July, 2020,  on Ivermectin, and of news that we can find about its use for Covid-19.  A list of clinical trials is also given. For what concerns scholar papers, we report among them a preprint posted on 10 June in MedRχiv,  which concludes that Ivermectin was associated with lower mortality during treatment of Covid-19.  From news, we consider in particular the case of Iquitos,  capital city of the Loreto Region in Peru, where, by May 25, Covid-19 cases and deaths had dropped notably. The formulation of ivermectin used in Peru is also discussed, in particular that of the oral solution disclosed by the Peruvian Government. A section about updating (8 July) is added to the discussion.  We report also the preprint posted on 8 July in MedRχiv, showing the result of a clinical trial. The preprint tells in the conclusions that add-on use of Ivermectin is giving better results when compared to controls, in particular a significant shorter hospital stay.
