The spectrum of medical therapies to treat COVID-19 continues to evolve and address SARS-CoV-2 variants. WSHA created this page to consolidate information shared in the Washington State Department of Health’s COVID-19 Therapeutics Alerts for health care providers, including updated guidance, resources, and treatment availability and authorizations.
