Report on the nationwide implementation of multi-drug COVID-19 inpatient and outpatient treatment protocols in Honduras, showing a case fatality rate decrease from 9.33% to 2.97%. No decrease was seen in Mexico, a similar Latin American country that did not introduce multi-drug treatment protocols at that time. Decreases in COVID-19 case fatality rates in Honduras were associated with both the initial publication of the protocol and a subsequent outreach program. Both inpatient and outpatient protocols include ivermectin as one component.
