21:35This is a "randomized and controlled" trial, whose participants are being recruited from among people treated for Covid-19 infection at the Pamplona headquarters of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra.

If so, the Clínica Universitaria de Navarra would be the "first and only hospital in the world" to carry out a study of these characteristics.
