      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: We use a randomization method to minimize the researchers' opinions to select participation in study groups to control bias. After selection, participants are assigned to the groups using a simple randomization method for received intervention and placebo in each participant. The randomization process is performed using Random Allocation software, and since this study consists of two groups, the allocation outputs of the participants are identified by A and B so assign of each patient in each group is unpredictable to other members of the research team. We do not notify the team manager after selecting each patient and they send out each patient's intervention type based on the software output, without the knowledge of other team members. Only the clinical care is aware of any patient's intervention in cases where the patient's condition is inappropriate, Blinding description: After selecting each patient to the study, the patients are selected based on the randomization output is taken from the randomization software and matching it with the patient number of the intervention in such a way that each patient, investigator, outcome assessor, and data analyzer does not determine the type of intervention the patients receive. Blinding in this study is triple blind. To maintain the blindness of the study the injection shape and color of the placebo are similar to the main intervention so that patients, physicians, and staff who evaluating the outcomes are blind to the participant's interventions to minimize the bias in outcome measurement.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: In this group, umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells are infused at an initial dose of 0.5-1 million/kg. This process is performed three times. This intervention is done along with other standard treatments for this type of patients, varying in severity of COVID-19 Infectious, and in accordance with national and international guidelines. Intervention 2: Control group: This group, like the intervention group, will receive all standard medication according to national and international guidelines, depending on the severity of COVID-19. But each time, placebo (normal saline) is infused.</i_freetext>
