Name Time Method Main Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of prophylactic enoxaparin compared to the current standard of care (no enoxaparin) in reducing hospital admission and/or death within 21 days of randomisation in symptomatic individuals with COVID-19 in a community setting;Secondary Objective: •Evaluate the bleeding risk of prophylactic enoxaparin in symptomatic individuals with COVID-19 in a community setting compared to the current standard of care (no enoxaparin), within 21 days of randomisation.<br>•Assess whether prophylactic enoxaparin reduces the number of individuals admitted to hospital requiring supplemental oxygen within 21 days of randomisation.<br>•Assess whether prophylactic enoxaparin reduces the incidence of venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism) or ischemic stroke within 21 days of randomisation<br>;Primary end point(s): The composite of hospitalization or all-cause death within 21 days after randomization. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 21 days
