This was announced by the country’s crisis team on Tuesday. So far, the drugs approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have only been used in hospitals for high-risk patients.
At the same time as the separation notice, you will receive information from the authority. Anyone who is affected by the risk factors listed should contact their family doctor and seek advice. This should be done quickly, because drug treatment makes sense, especially in the first five to seven days. Then a severe course can be prevented with the therapy options.
“Severe cases in unvaccinated people”
If you agree that this therapy makes sense, you will be referred to a hospital and treated with one of the new corona drugs under medical supervision in an outpatient clinic that is shielded from normal hospital operations. After an infusion therapy, you have to stay in the outpatient clinic for about 30 minutes for observation.
“Unfortunately, we also see very severe courses with Omikron, especially in unvaccinated people. With the drugs that are now also available to us for the outpatient area, we will be able to reduce the number of severe courses of the disease in a so-called post-exposure prophylaxis,” continues Tilman Königswieser, Medical Director of the Salzkammergut Klinikum and member of the crisis team, high hopes in outpatient drug delivery.
