COVID-19 is not like Malaria or West Nile. It cannot be spread by mosquitos. According to Yahoo News, "The virus enters the body if a person inhales infected droplets that have been expelled by a patient when they cough or sneeze. Rubbing the eyes, nose or mouth with contaminated hands is also a known route of infection."

Antibiotics are effective against bacteria, but not so much a viral infection like Coronavirus.
