Gov. DeSantis Highlights Success of Monoclonal Antibody Treatments for COVID-19

Governor Ron DeSantis joined leaders from Tampa General Hospital (TGH) and the University of South Florida (USF) Health Morsani College of Medicine to discuss the efficacy of monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID-19 patients.

“Although monoclonal antibodies have been used in earnest for almost all of 2021, they have not received much attention. The results have been very positive, but the key is having patients receiving it in time, early enough in the infection to neutralize the virus. They provide your body an ability to fight back against the virus and results from the trials were a 70% reduction in hospitalization or death.” - Gov. Ron DeSantis
