The present report serves to better understand how therapeutics, both Paxlovid and Molnupiravir, have been used and distributed to treat COVID-19. Data come from 11 health systems (Allina Health, CentraCare, Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, Essentia Health, M Health Fairview, University of Minnesota, HealthPartners, Hennepin Healthcare, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic Health System, and North Memorial Health, and Sanford Health) and includes people who resided in Minnesota at the time of treatment or received health care in Minnesota. We estimate that MNEHRC represents around 90 percent of healthcare in the state of Minnesota. While health systems are responsible for a large number of COVID-19 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests, many tests happen outside of health systems. COVID-19 tests included in this study represent a minority of all COVID-19 cases in Minnesota 2021-2023 – the exact proportion is not known. Because tests included in this study were administered by health care systems, positive tests may include more severe cases of COVID-19 than those that were never seen at a health system.
