Wisconsin COVID-19 Treatment Telehealth Program Ends April 10

" Wisconsinites can continue to access antiviral treatment through clinics and programs"

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) reminds Wisconsinites that its COVID-19 Treatment program will end on April 10. The program, initially planned to end in 2023, was extended to April 2024 [ [link removed] ] due to the success of the program and high cases of COVID-19 circulating at the time. Since it launched in November 2022, the program completed 8,819 consults, providing health guidance and access to COVID-19 antiviral treatments to people across Wisconsin at no cost.

"We're extremely proud of the success of this program, which provided free telehealth service [ [link removed] ] to thousands of Wisconsinites, especially older adults and people living in rural communities," says DHS Deputy Secretary Deb Standridge. "Through the support of federal funding, we were able to extend this program's operations for Wisconsinites. As the program ends, we urge Wisconsinites to remember COVID-19 has not gone away. We now have better tools to protect, prevent, and ensure access to COVID-19 vaccination, testing, and treatment through your health care provider, community clinic, or pharmacy."
