INDIANAPOLIS — Eli Lilly, headquartered in Indianapolis, says their coronavirus antibody treatment can prevent illness in both residents and staff at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.
It’s the first major study to show such treatment may prevent coronavirus.
Lilly says they tested about 300 people, and the treatment lowered the risk of getting COVID-19 by up to 80%. There were no deaths among the residents who got the antibody treatment. There were four deaths in the placebo group.
