Health experts say the issue warrants immediate attention as cases in many parts of Canada start to rise again

Canadian physicians and scientists say they’re concerned over a lack of access to important COVID-19 treatments that can prevent some infections from becoming severe or deadly.

However, treatment with monoclonal antibodies, which must be administered intravenously, is not widely available to those who would benefit most in many parts of Canada, according to Andrew Morris, an infectious disease physician at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital and University Health Network. Alberta announced this week that it would start offering sotrovimab to patients such as unvaccinated people 65 and older and transplant recipients.

But the other challenge is making sure people get the treatment within five to seven days of symptom onset. Testing can be inconvenient and time-consuming.
