P-values are for comparison versus vitamin C arm. For primary outcomes and acute respiratory symptoms, p-values adjust for clustering through random effects logistic regression. Respiratory symptoms are defined by any of the following symptoms: fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose, or change in smell/taste. P-values significant at a Bonferroni-corrected level of 0.0125 are starred. Quantities are number (%) unless otherwise specified.
