The WHO currently recommends ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir (Paxlovid) in patients with nonsevere COVID-19 who are at high risk for hospitalization. The guidelines also strongly recommend against the use of fluvoxamine in patients with nonsevere COVID, unless in the context of a clinical trial. The WHO also strongly recommends against the use of colchicine in patients with nonsevere disease. Anticoagulants (eg, rivaroxaban) are still under investigation for use in COVID-19 and are not included in the WHO guidelines.
