  • MICHELLE study done for post-discharge thromboprophylaxis after hospitalization for COVID-19 found that anticoagulation with rivaroxaban in patients with IMPROVE VTE score >4 or >2/3 with D-dimer double the baseline at discharge reduce the incidence of symptomatic/asymptomatic arterial and venous thromboembolism at day 35
  • In patients expected to have an inadequate vaccine response or in high exposure groups, single dose IM Tixagevimab-Cilgavimab was effective in preventing symptomatic COVID over a 6 month period(relative risk reduction 76%)
  • Treatment with Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir(paxlovid) within 5 days of symptoms onset for COVID-19 illness can decrease progression to severe disease, hospitalization and reduce viral load
  • WHO recommends not to use of fluvoxamine in Non-severe COVID-July 2022
