White House to send out CDC response teams to help states deal with delta variant

Print this article The Biden administration will send out response teams made up mostly of government health experts to help areas of the United States experiencing an uptick in COVID-19 cases due to the highly transmissible delta variant. “As we continue to work with communities across the country to get more shots in arms, we will also be working with governors and state and local health authorities to identify and address the needs on the ground in places with emergency outbreaks,” White House COVID-19 czar Jeff Zients said. The “surge response” teams will include staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. The teams will provide help to states by supplying local health officials with more diagnostic tests and COVID-19 treatments, such as monoclonal antibody therapies.

Houston Methodist And U S Department of Health and Human Services Partner To Expand Access To COVID-19 Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

Share this article Share this article HOUSTON, June 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Houston Methodist announced today, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), that it has expanded access to COVID-19 monoclonal antibody therapy (mAb) in the Greater Houston area. The promising treatment has been shown to keep high-risk COVID-19 patients out of the hospital and reduce the likelihood of progression to severe disease. Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system s ability to fight off harmful pathogens such as viruses. If administered within 10 days of onset of COVID-19 symptoms, the one-time therapy is effective in neutralizing the virus and preventing symptoms from worsening. The treatment is administered through intravenous infusion, delivering medication directly into a patient s bloodstream.
