Course Summary

The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines have been developed to inform clinicians how to care for patients with COVID-19. Because clinical information about the optimal management of COVID-19 is evolving quickly, these Guidelines will be updated frequently as published data and other authoritative information become available. The recommendations in these Guidelines are based on scientific evidence and expert opinion. 

The Guidelines begin with and introduction and overview of COVID-19. This is followed by care of the critically ill patients and therapeutic management of patients with COVID-19. Next is antiviral drugs, immune-based therapies, adjunctive therapy, and considerations for certain concomitant medications in patients with COVID-19. The Guidelines conclude with a section on COVID-19 and special populations.
