COVID-19, how to treat the disease during Fall 2022?

Since the arrival of COVID-19, we have witnessed a series of new variants and new therapies, and it is therefore becoming difficult to stay up to date on the best management of an outpatient infected with SARS-CoV-2. In a patient at risk of an unfavorable evolution in the first 5 days of illness, the antiviral Paxlovid is recommended. Evusheld, administered in the hospitals, is recommended in patients with a documented negative serology, for treatment in early disease or as a pre-exposure prophylaxis. The activity of monoclonal antibodies seems to be reduced with the new variants. Dexamethasone is reserved for the hospital management of an oxygen-dependent patient. There is no place for antibiotic therapy apart from additional bacterial infection.
