The Department of Public Health (DPH) has issued a reminder to Massachusetts residents that free COVID-19 treatment options are available.* These treatments can be used to prevent severe illness and hospitalization.
There are five treatment options in Massachusetts
Oral therapy
Monoclonal antibodies and antiviral infusion
Treatments should be considered for patients with a positive COVID-19 test who are symptomatic and who are at risk for moderate-to-severe disease progression, regardless of vaccination status. For information on patient treatment qualification, read Clinical Guidance on Therapies for COVID-19.
Supply limitations are not a barrier for treatment, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Please ensure that eligible patients have access to COVID-19 therapies as soon as possible.
We encourage home infusion therapy providers to offer COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatments and Remdesivir infusions to eligible patients in their communities.
*Anti-SARS-CoV2 monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals are available through state-funded sites located across the Commonwealth and managed by Gothams. These state-funded infusion sites include Athol, Everett, Fall River, Holyoke, Lowell, Pittsfield, Plymouth.
