3. Patients whose findings of COVID-19 pneumonia have been confirmed by radiographic tests (CT and X-ray) at screening (e.g., ground glass opacity (GGO), crazy-paving pattern, or consolidation)

4. Those who fall under the following at screening:

• Patients identified as moderate: Oxygen saturation in the atmosphere (SpO2) >93% (to be confirmed with respiratory rate ≥20/min or pulse rate ≥90 beats/min secondarily)

• Patients identified as severe: Oxygen saturation in the atmosphere (SpO2) ≤93% or PaO2/FiO2 <300 (respiratory rate ≥30/min or pulse rate ≥125 beats/min secondarily)

5. Those who have voluntarily provided a written consent to participate in this clinical study

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Individuals with a clinically significant history of hypersensitivity reactions to the components of hzVSF-v13, drugs containing components of the same class, or other drugs (aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, etc.)

2. Individuals with a severe at screening

• Breathing disorder that requires treatment of one or more of the following: Oxygen therapy using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV), invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO, Clinical diagnosis of respiratory failure

• Shock (Systolic <90mmHg or diastolic <60mmHg, or in case need a blood pressure booster)

• Multiple organ failure

3. Patients with pneumonia other than due to the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection (e.g., influenza virus pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, and fungal pneumonia)

4. Patients with severe heart failure (NYHA Class III or higher)

② Hormonal contraceptives (Hormone releasing IUD, implantable form, patch, oral hormone)

③ Double-barrier method (concomitant use of two of the following: IUD, male or female condom, contraceptive diaphragm, contraceptive sponge, cervical cap, spermicide) Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation date, basal body temperature, post-ovulation methods) and coitus interruptus are not permitted as appropriate contraceptive methods, and effective contraceptive methods must be kept being used during the course of the clinical study.

7. Those who are scheduled to have organ transplantation

8. Those who have laboratory test results that fall under the following values at screening ① ALT or AST ≥5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

② eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m2

③ platelets < 50,000/mm3

9. Those who have a positive result for serology (hepatitis B, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], and hepatitis C tests) at screening
