The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is three times per week and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the local economy running. We remain here for you.

 

COVID-19 Therapeutics | Paxlovid 

Paxlovid is an oral antiviral treatment for people at high risk for severe COVID-19 illness. This treatment reduces the risk of hospitalization for patients at highest risk when provided within 5 days of symptom onset.  

If you are immunocompromised, over the age of 65, or have Underlying Medical Conditions Associated with Higher Risk for Severe COVID-19 you are encouraged to perform a COVID-19 test if you develop symptoms, and inform your doctor if you have a positive result. Doctors can prescribe this medication after confirming eligibility. An increasing number of local pharmacies will be able to furnish Paxlovid as federal supplies increase.  

 

Think Positive, Test Negative 

Testing is an essential tool to help combat the spread of COVID-19 in our community. If you are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19, get tested as soon as possible. Or, if are you a close contact of someone who is COVID positive, follow our Isolation and Quarantine guidance and Get a COVID-19 test 5 days after your exposure.
