Core Tip	Hydroxychloroquine is a known disease-modifying antirheumatic drug and has antiviral properties. It had previously been used to treat viral arthritis. In this letter, using future research questions in the context of the evidence in the literature we debate whether hydroxychloroquine can be used in post-coronavirus disease 2019 arthritis.
