All the human cell cultures infected with covid-19 will certainly rejoice... whether it's effective in real cases is completely another matter.

Remember while it's a commonly used drug, (hydroxy)chloroquine can kill you. So whatever you do, don't take it at your own initiative!

Immune system boosted by regular long sleep at night might actually be one of the best ways to avoid this disease. Probably also a good idea to get enough Vitamin D.

The best way to avoid it is of course isolation.
