Brief Summary   Effective medical prophylaxis can help in curbing the transmission of COVID 19. Ivermectin has been found to be having antiviral properties against SARS-COV-2 virus  and trials have been started in various parts of the world to study the effectiveness of Ivermectin as a post exposure prophylaxis of COVID 19.  Keeping this in view an attempt is being made in the study to determine the effectiveness of single-dose ivermectin 12mg or 36mg in reducing the probability of contracting the infection from positive household contacts in India.
