For those at 'greatest risk' of becoming seriously ill
People who are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill with Covid-19 will be offered antiviral treatment.
Manx Care says those who test positive for the virus, on a lateral flow device, can contact their GP.
If their doctor deems them eligible they will be sent to The Crookall Centre for a PCR test and then, if that is positive, will be offered the treatment at Noble’s Hospital.
Chief executive Teresa Cope said: “Antivirals medication is a choice however we would encourage anyone with a Covid positive result, who meets the criteria, to have the treatment.
“We continue to ask the public to get vaccinated to protect themselves and those around them.”
Antiviral treatment will be delivered in either tablet form or via intravenous infusion.
