2. Diagnosis of COVID-19 (of any severity), based on: (a) A clinical presentation consistent with a positive laboratory test for SARS-CoV-2 (serological test or PCR); or (b) Considered by the family medical team as a person under investigation who is undergoing laboratory tests for COVID-19, with high clinical probability, in addition to compatible pulmonary infiltrates in radiographic plaque or chest tomography (bilateral, interstitial or ground glass opacities). Inclusion will require meeting criterion (2a) only, criterion (2b) only, or both. Patients who do not have a typical acute symptomatic picture of COVID-19 should not be included.

3. History of active liver disease, cholelithiasis, hypothyroidism or rhabdomyolysis (suspected or confirmed). For purposes of the study, any history of chronic hepatopathy (including chronic hepatitis of any etiology, liver cirrhosis), recent history (last 12 months) of acute hepatitis of any etiology shall be considered as active liver disease, or in the context of COVID-19, increase in circulating AST or ALT >3 times the upper normal limit (to be performed on all patients at trial cost, unless already available in the patient within the last 72 hours). Fatty liver without hepatitis, or a remote history (>12 months) of acute viral (e.g., hepatitis A) or medication-induced hepatitis that has not progressed to chronic liver disease, do not constitute an exclusion criterion for the study.
4. Known hypersensitivity to fenofibrate or fenofibric acid.
5. Current treatment with fenofibrate, clofibrate, warfarin or other coumarinic anticoagulants, glimepiride, cyclosporine, tacrolimus.
