My bad - Australia didn't test HCQ + azimthromycin, it was HCQ + Kaletra - the link I originally posted was from the UK.Guardian.com website but I can't find the article now.

A handful of patients with confirmed cases have been successfully treated

The first ones in Australia to have been infected and have confirmed cases of the coronavirus, a group of patients, have all been successfully treated using two existing drugs.

In a secret trial that was held, they were all given HIV medication, Kaletra and Malaria treatment hydroxychloroquine. The tests were truly successful that these drugs will now be rolled out to COVID-19 patients in at least 50 hospitals nationwide. The drugs were very much effective

Scientists and researchers started to operate a secret trial on the group of patients who have all now completely recovered.

According to DailyMail, the Consultant Infectious Diseases Physician at the Royal Brisbane and Women's and Hospital Clinical Research Director, Professor David Paterson of the University of Queensland Centre, have said that "These medications have the potential to be a real cure for all, unlike the random anecdotal experiences of some people."

Paterson also said that the 50 hospitals will definitely try to resolve the best way to use these drugs and that this would involve comparing the two drugs separately and versus the combination of both.

On the same statement, Paterson reassures everyone that they are ready to go and quickly begin signing up patients into their trial, though this would only happen by the end of the month. The trial will then enable Paterson and his team to test the first wave of Australian patients.
