Manx Care will be offering antiviral treatment to those who are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill with Covid-19.

The health board says those who test positive for the virus can contact their GP to discuss options.

If their doctor deems them eligible - they'll then attend the Crookal Centre for a PCR test - and subsequently will be offered the treatment up at Noble's Hospital.

Treatment will be delivered in either tablet form or via intravenous infusion. For full details of what treatment will be administered by the Antiviral Service please click here.
