Severe/critical:
✅steroids, IL-6RB, baricitinib
🔷REGN-COV
🔶other JAK2i, plasma

Non-severe:
🔷molnupiravir, REGN-COV, sotrovimab
🔶steroids
🚫plasma

All:
🔶remdesivir, ivermectin
🚫HCQ, LPV/r

bit.ly/3pAK6Oe Important considerations/caveats:
✨Choice between baricitinib & IL-6RB for severe/critical COVID-19 depends on availability & clinical/contextual factors.
✨In non-severe illness, molnupiravir, sotrivimab & casirivimab-imdevimab are weakly recommended for those at highest risk.
