Shawna from Edmonton asks: Do you recommend the anti-viral treatments for COVID?
The available treatments for COVID are ever changing. We try to keep our recommendations up to date on this site here. As a general statement, most patients under care of a rheumatologist are eligible for anti-viral treatment for acute COVID infections, and most rheumatologists would support this. If there is ever any doubt, contact your rheumatologist ASAP if you believe you have a COVID infection. A PCR test is also highly recommended in this case, not just the at home Rapid tests. Most patients with rheumatic disease remain eligible for PCR testing.
