Ensitrelvir Prevents COVID-19 After Exposure to Infected Individuals

Summary: Imagine someone in your house gets COVID-19. You definitely do not want to catch it! A new study shows that a daily pill called ensitrelvir can help protect you. If you don't have COVID-19 yet, taking this medicine within three days of your family member or roommate getting sick can stop you from catching the virus.

In the study, only about 3 out of 100 people who took the pill got sick, compared to 9 out of 100 people who took a fake pill. The medicine is safe and could be a great new way to protect people from COVID-19 at home.
