The overall landscape for the last five weeks of clinical trial activity for hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19 is as follows:
 
Coronavirus Clinical Trials
 
This shows a significant number of trials being conducted using hydroxychloroquine in combination with azithromycin. Interestingly, there are studies related to post-exposure prophylaxis which could be a key factor in mitigating the spread of the disease, and a potential key to restarting the economy given the broad availability of these drugs. 
 
Looking into areas of study focusing on pre-and post-exposure prophylaxis involving hydroxychloroquine, we can see the University of Minnesota is involved in both aspects, where a clinical trial began in mid-March for pre-exposure, and early April for post-exposure.
