The centre has now expanded the use of the medicine as prophylaxis to healthcare and other frontline workers deployed in non-COVID and COVID area. The decision came after the National Task Force (NTF) for COVID-19 constituted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) reviewed the use of HCQ.
