Individuals experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 are encouraged to get tested. Testing helps bring better understanding to the spread of the virus in the community.
“I encourage people to continue to be mindful of any symptoms of COVID-19 they might have and to get tested if such symptoms develop,” Dr. Josh Overgaard, a physician at Lake Region Healthcare, said in the release. “One important reason for getting tested is that we now have a treatment for people at high risk for severe disease when they get infected. This treatment, the monoclonal antibody that attacks the virus, is very effective at keeping people with infection out of the hospital and off a ventilator.”
