COVID medicines are available for all people aged over 70 and others with special risk of falling very sick with COVID.

Talk to your GP to check if you or your loved one is eligible for COVID medications and have a plan in place, should you get COVID. You may be eligible for COVID medications if you have a weakened immune system, a disability or were born with a heart disease.

These antiviral medicines help people from falling so sick that they require hospitalisation. They work best if taken within five days of having COVID, so it is good to test every time you get cold symptoms.
