Please see the attached Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Health Advisory: Updated
Information on Availability and Use of Treatments for Outpatients with Mild to
Moderate COVID-19 Who are at Increased Risk for Severe Outcomes of COVID-19.
CDC is issuing this Advisory to update healthcare providers,
public health departments, and the public about the availability and use of
recommended therapies for COVID-19 and to advise against using unproven
treatments that have known or potential harms for outpatients with mild to
moderate COVID-19. For patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 who are not
hospitalized and who are at increased risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes,
several treatment options, including antiviral medications and monoclonal
antibodies, are now widely available and accessible.

COVID-19 therapeutics in New Jersey online at the COVID-19
