The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced they have begun to ship the the first batch of Regeneron’s antibody treatment to hospitals across the country.

President Donald Trump was treated with Regeneron when he was hospitalized with the coronavirus in the beginning of October.

The treatment is authorized for use for patients 12 and older with mild to moderate COVID-19 but are at higher risk of getting very sick. Health care providers will decide who gets access to the drug based on need, according to HHS officials.

The federal government provided around 30,000 doses to the hospitals so far and will ship tens of thousands more in the weeks to come, according to officials.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper announced new statewide measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus, after the state passed 5,000 deaths Monday.

The state recorded 2,419 new cases and 1,601 new hospitalizations Monday, both of which were record numbers, Cooper tweeted.

The governor announced he was bolstering the state's mask mandate, which has been in effect since June, by requiring that all residents wear a face covering anytime they interact with someone outside their household.

"That means wearing a mask at home when you have friends or family over to visit. It means a mask at work, at the gym, at the store, at school," he tweeted.

The order will remain in effect until Dec. 11 at the earliest, according to the governor.

Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine warned in a news release that the state's hospitals could run out of ICU beds within a week.

“This week’s data, in terms of hospitalization increase, an increase in the use of ventilators, case increase and percent positivity are worrisome,” she said in a statement.

The 14-day average of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 has increased from 1,111 on Nov. 1 to 2,700 on Nov. 23, according to the Pennsylvania Health Department.

As of Nov. 19, the state has seen a seven-day case increase of 36,133 cases, according to the Health Department.

Gov. Tom Wolf urged residents to follow the state's health guidelines, including wearing a mask, avoiding travel and gatherings and washing their hands.

"Another week of significant increases of COVID-19 across Pennsylvania is a call to action," he said in a statement.

Ohio recorded a record-breaking 11,800 new coronavirus cases Monday as the state continued to see an upward trend.

The new daily case number was 300 more than the previous record set on Friday, according to data from the Ohio Health Department.

Gov. Mike DeWine told reporters during a news conference that the jump in numbers was due in part to two labs that weren't able to report their data for two days.

DeWine, however, noted that there are 4,358 patients in the state's hospitals that are being treated for the virus, which he said was a 59% increase from two weeks ago.

"We also currently have 1,079 patients who are in the ICU, which is again far higher than we have seen so far during this pandemic," the governor said.

Vermont officials are urging people who had Thanksgiving gatherings with those outside their household to now quarantine.

“My request to Vermonters who may have participated in travel and/or multi-household gatherings is simply this: Please quarantine yourselves at home, and please get tested now and in seven days,” state Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine said during a press briefing Friday.

Gov. Phil Scott echoed the health commissioner’s request.

“If you have had one of those gatherings yesterday, then you shouldn't send your kids to school next week," he said. "You should quarantine your kids for at least seven days, get a test, and then we'll move forward."

Scott said earlier in the week that school officials will ask returning students if they attended a Thanksgiving gathering with people outside their household to determine quarantine requirements.

"We did all of this to try and protect Vermont, to try and prevent the rise in the number of cases," Scott said Friday.
