Q,
hydroxychloroquine in Italy is mandatory by law since march 17 on every patient at home (not yet seriously ill).
This is the law from the official national source (Gazzetta Ufficiale)

Know what?
It's almost a SECRET. No newspaper wrote that. Nobody knows that. Family doctors cure all italians with hydroxychloroquine, but the govt and media keep their mouth SHUT. They discuss every cure on earth on the media, but NEVER MENTION hydroxychloroquine, so extensively used.
Sometimes a doctor admit they use it, but nobody pays attention.
We're curing Covid in Italy, but it's a well kept secret.
