Driver charged in deadly Waukesha crash
| | Nov. 23, 2021 More Minnesotans will have access to monoclonal antibody treatment to stave off hospitalization resulting from a COVID-19 infection. This announcement comes as capacity at Minnesota hospitals reaches record levels, and case counts remain high.
Gov. Tim Walz announced a 50 percent capacity increase for this treatment in the Twin Cities and further options in greater Minnesota, too. The monoclonal antibody clinic in St. Paul will expand its hours, and M Health Fairview will add more appointments.
Monoclonal antibodies are an outpatient infusion that are most effective within 10 days for people with mild to moderate COVID symptoms. The treatment is given to those who are at high risk of hospitalization or death from the virus.
Signups for treatment are through a state-run website, the Minnesota Resource Allocation Platform.
