MCMC Has Treated About 30 With Monoclonal Antibodies

North Central Public Health District says Mid-Columbia Medical Center has treated about 30 people with COVID-19 with monoclonal antibody treatments.  MCMC has been offering monoclonal antibody treatments for several weeks now.  The treatment is available to those who are at high risk of severe disease and have had symptoms for 10 days or less.  In clinical trials, monoclonal antibody treatments reduced the risk of hospitalization 50 percent.  The antibodies mimic the body’s own immune response to the coronavirus.  NCPHD reported another death in Wasco County from complications of COVID-19.   The district says a woman died September 11 at MCMC after testing positive two days earlier.  It is the 40th COVID-19 related death recorded in Wasco County.
