Louisiana Attorney General, Jeff Landry, posted the information below regarding a recent appearance on Fox News concerning the efforts to combat COVID-19 in Louisiana:
ON FOX NEWS LAST NIGHT I SPOKE ABOUT OUR EFFORTS TO FIGHT CORONAVIRUS AND MY MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT YESTERDAY OF NEW MEDICATIONS FOR LOUISIANA. As you may have seen, at a press conference yesterday I spoke of the new medications I have secured including 8,000 packs of Azithromycin (Z Paks) and an additional 75,000 tablets of hydroxychloroquine from Teva pharmaceuticals. This is in addition to the 400,000 donations of hydroxycloroquine I secured from Amneal last week. This medication helps increase the supply in Louisiana for those patients already taking these medications for other reasons, for doctors who may use them for COVID-19 Coronavirus treatments and for the LSU Medical School which is conducting clinical trials for virus treatments. I will continue to do all I can to fight for Louisiana so we can beat this Coronavirus. Together we will win!
