Monoclonal antibody treatments can prevent hospitalization or death in high-risk patients with COVID-19 and are widely available in Florida, according to the Florida Department of Health. Individuals 12 years and older who are high-risk, that have contracted or been exposed to COVID-19, are eligible for this treatment. Treatment is free and vaccination status does not matter. Learn more here.

Sumter County has the highest vaccination rate in the state, but that hasn’t guaranteed protection from the Coronavirus.

“In Sumter, you’ve got a huge number of people who have gotten shots. But we’re still seeing the wave,” the governor said.

Since the pandemic began, Sumter County has recorded 11,718 COVID-19 cases and 284 deaths. The totals in Lake County and Marion County have been much higher.
