The NHS is rolling out new Covid-19 treatments for the highest risk patients including monoclonal antibodies and antiviral treatments in hospitals.
This scheme aims to help avoid hospitalisations in patients at highest risk of Covid-19.
The Covid-19 medicines delivery units, or CMDUs, have been up and running since December and have begun helping patients receive these treatments, with many hopefully avoiding hospitalisation.
