UPDATES FROM INCIDENT COMMAND:

  • Bamlanivimab “Bam” monoclonal drug for Covid treatment. We have infused 38 patients with this experimental Eli Lilly drug. Our hospital admission rate is 2.7% for high-risk patients that received this drug, which is an improvement compared to those high-risk patients who did not receive the infusion. Only one patient experienced a mild reaction, which was vomiting at home after the infusion, but the patient fully recovered afterward without further incidence.
