Hydroxychloroquine and Amiodarone

I was wondering if anyone who has COVID positive patients on Hydroxychloroquine also have patients who are receiving amiodarone. Given the long half-life of amiodarone and its arrhythmogenic potential, how you mitigating the development of torsades de pointes?

Thank you and be well!
