CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A new antibody treatment has now been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration to prevent the progression of the coronavirus. Now, one doctor at the University of Virginia is working to administer this life saving drug to patients in the COVID Clinic.
“We were able to set up a program right within our clinic to help administer them, and that program has been going really well,” Dr. Debbie-Ann Shirley, director of the COVID Clinic at UVA, said.

As more people get the COVID-19 vaccine, there s a new bug on the rise: the travel bug.
After a year of being cooped up, many people are eager to hit the road or jet set off on a long-awaited adventure.
But before you run out the door, make sure you re aware of your destination s COVID travel requirements. Restrictions vary by location, and generally every international destination requires a negative test. So depending on where you re headed, you may need to provide proof of a negative test when you arrive and then again when you return to the U.S. from a trip abroad.
