Colorado encourages those who test positive for COVID-19 and are at high risk of getting sick from COVID-19 to seek treatment to help them recover. It’s important that people seek treatment within a few days of testing positive. There are two main types of treatments: monoclonal antibody therapy and antivirals. If Coloradans are immunocompromised or can’t get vaccinated, they may be able to take a preventive medicine called Evusheld to keep from getting sick. Evusheld is not a treatment for people who are already infected with COVID-19. People should talk with their doctor or health care provider as soon as they can to ask about treatment. If they do not have a health care provider, they can find a place to get treatment using the ASPR COVID-19 Therapeutics Locator or CDPHE’s therapeutics provider map. A list of providers and pharmacies with treatments can also be found here: covid19.colorado.gov/getting-covid-19-treatment.
Coloradans can also use the new federal Test to Treat program to seek antiviral treatment. This is an all in one location where people can get tested for COVID-19, get a prescription for treatment from a health care provider (if appropriate), and have their prescription filled all at one location (if they are positive and treatments are appropriate). See our Test To Treat toolkit for more information.
