Twenty-four patients (70.6%) have presented at least one comorbidity. The association of hospitalization with preventive treatment was not significant (p=0.166); we observed a difference during the hospital stay of the patients (p= 0.084). Conclusions: Quercetin could prevent and decrease the duration of SARS-CoV-2 infections, it is plausible to propose the prophylactic use of this flavonoid to achieve clinical benefits.
