New York City has begun offering free, same day at-home delivery of COVID-19 antiviral pills to eligible residents although supplies remain limited.
The program was announced by Mayor Eric Adams at a press conference Sunday at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx.
New Yorkers will be considered eligible if they test positive for the virus and have mild to moderate symptoms. They must also receive a prescription from a doctor.
"The city will also offer at-home delivery of COVID antiviral pills to eligible New Yorkers who need them, and we're going to do it with the magic New York word -- we're going to do it for free. For free," Adams said. "We want to make sure no one with COVID has to move throughout the city, especially for those who are immunocompromised or our elderly. We want to bring it to you."
