This study used Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin as a treatment of COVID-19.
it says that the mean time of viral shedding in patients suffering from COVID19 in China was 20 days while this combination is able to clear viral is 6 days.

At day 6 post-inclusion, 100% of patients
treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin combination were virologicaly cured
comparing with 57.1% in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine only, and 12.5% in the
control group"

Gautret's study is being heavily criticized worldwide for using a very small sample and administering other treatments alongside hydroxycloroquine; which obviously makes it hard to determine what really had the positive effect.
There are other, more rigorous studies running right now, including one by the USA CDC with ~1100 patients in NYC.
