COVID-19 – Oral antiviral treatments

Hello, I’m Professor Michael Kidd. 

Oral treatments are now available for COVID-19.

These are available to those at high risk of severe illness to help fight infection if you contract the virus and they can be taken at home. 

You’ll need a prescription, and they must be taken as soon as possible after symptoms begin. 

So if you’re in a high risk group talk to your health care professional now to be prepared.

For more information and to find out if you’re eligible, visit Australia.gov.au.
