Does A New Study Really Show That Hydroxychloroquine Might Be
Effective Against Omicron?
...
....
This means that SARS-CoV-2 has two ways to enter cells: from the
surface or via an endosome. The University of Glasgow study shows that
omicron has picked up mutations that improve its ability to enter our
cells via endosomes – and this is where hydroxychloroquine comes into
play.
...
...
Using HCQ to stop omicron entering via endosomes would therefore only
marginally limit the virus from entering cells.

In other words, HCQ can reduce replication via endosome means, but
Covid can kept on replicating on cells' membranes with ACE2 receptors.
