I watched the Greek daily COVID-19 update, and the epidemiologist in charge was asked about chloroquine specifically. He said that we are administering it to patients, along with 1-2 other drugs (if they want it), but the results haven't been conclusive yet. We "only" have 2-5 deaths a day, so it's not a huge sample size, but if the drug were extremely effective, you wouldn't need a very large sample size to see a difference.

I'm not so sure about that. If the goal is to get from 97% case survival rates to 99+%, the results may not be all that obvious from small sample sizes.
