%X Based on a novel antiviral theory, we propose that taking paracetamol and vitamin C or ibuprofen and vitamin C every day could be a very simple way to prevent COVID-19 infection. To prove the effectiveness of these drug combinations, urgent clinical trials should be carried out. Mass drug administration plays a very important role in the containment of COVID-19 pandemic. Prophylactic drugs might not provide 100% protection, but can reduce coronavirus deaths and severe cases, which might facilitate success of natural herd immunity. This natural herd immunity could be named as ˇ°drug-escort natural herd immunityˇ±.
