Though this research appears promising, it was only performed in-vitro, in a glass or plastic container in a laboratory, not in an animal or human, therefore there is no current evidence that ivermectin would be an effective treatment for COVID-19, and humans should not use ivermectin for this purpose.1 pageapplication/pdfenVirginia Cooperative Extension materials are available for public use, re-print, or citation without further permission, provided the use includes credit to the author and to Virginia Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, and Virginia State University.Covid-19Covid-19SARS-CoV-2CoronavirusHealth and NutritionCOVID-19Extension publicationhttps://resources.ext.vt.edu/contentdetail?contentid=2473&contentname=Ivermectin%20is%20Not%20a%20Proven%20or%20Approved%20Treatment%20for%20COVID-19ivermectin
