If you test positive for COVID-19, please talk to your provider to get your infusion scheduled today! If your provider doesn’t mention it, ASK THEM for information! The sooner you get your infusion after testing positive for COVID-19, the better, even if you have mild symptoms, because the infusion must be given within 10 days of the onset of your symptoms. We have increased capacity now at North Hospital to provide even more infusions daily, so don’t delay!
