Medication is available for Minnesotans who test positive for COVID-19 and are at high risk of severe illness because of older age or underlying health conditions. These medications can help prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19.

If you are at high risk and test positive, it is important to get medication right away to prevent serious illness.

COVID-19 medications are not a substitute for prevention. It is still recommended that everyone who is eligible get vaccinated and take other steps including masking to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
