A prospective, randomised, open label study of the combined use of favipiravir and standard clinical care verses standard clinical care alone. A computer-based software will randomise participants 1:1 to either receive favipiravir and standard medical care or standard medical care alone. The allocated medical regime will commence for 10 days. Research blood, sputum nose swab and urine samples will be collected at baseline, as well as between day 5 and 10, and between day 14 and 28 to enable comparative analyses. A COVID-19 antibody test will also be performed 14-28 days after randomisation. In the event of clinically indicated bronchoscopy taking place within 28 days of consent then additional bronchoscopy washing and brushing samples and paired blood sample will be taken for research purposes If a participant is discharged before one of the latter time points, they will be required to return to hospital (provided they are well enough) for the collection of repeat samples. Participants will be closely monitored whilst taking the study medications. Participants will study exit at subject death or 28 days post-randomisation.
