“The Division of Emergency Management and the Florida Department of Health are moving quickly to establish additional monoclonal antibody treatment sites,” said Florida Division of Emergency Management Director (FDEM) Kevin Guthrie. “We remain committed to expanding access to this treatment, while also alleviating demand on hospital resources. We’ll continue coordinating with local governments to open more sites and reduce the likelihood of individuals being hospitalized for COVID.”

“We are giving more attention and providing increased access to this life-saving treatment,” said FDEM Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kenneth Scheppke. “Governor DeSantis deserves praise for using innovative solutions to protect Floridians. Through these stationary sites and the mobile strike teams, monoclonal antibodies can be increasingly and more efficiently deployed in the fight against COVID-19. For decades monoclonal antibodies have been utilized in medicine and have been proven to protect the human body from viruses.”
