The first two oral treatments for COVID-19 have been approved for use in Australia by the country's medical regulator. The Australian Government announced on 20 January 2022, it welcomed the Therapeutic Goods Administration's (TGA) provisional approval of the first oral treatments for COVID-19 in Australia, Lagevrio (molnupiravir) and Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir + ritonavir). Not everyone who contracts COVID-19 will require access to these treatments, which will be of 'most benefit for people most at risk of severe disease and through the oversight from a healthcare professional,' the statement added.
