There were 209,988 new cases of COVID-19 confirmed in the U.S. on Monday, according to Johns Hopkins University. It's the third time this month the U.S. has reported more than 200,000 newly confirmed infections in a single day.
Less than two months after the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency authorization for the treatment Actemra for severely sick COVID-19 patients, there are already global shortages due to an"unprecedented surge in worldwide demand," the manufacturer, Roche, said.
Actemra helps fight the inflammatory immune reaction some COVID-19 patients have with severe infection."Despite all these efforts, the unfortunate reality is that due to the unprecedented surge in worldwide demand -- with US demand spiking to well-beyond 400% of pre-COVID levels over the last two weeks alone -- we will experience shortages of Actemra/RoActemra globally over the weeks and months ahead," Roche said.
The World Health Organization added Actemra to its list of COVID-19 treatments in July following FDA authorization.
