7:12 am
which is why vaccines are important. >> for those who get infected, what treatments are available? how do you get them? >> treatments are available for those who are elderly and high risk. we saw the test to treat program, oral medications are available at local pharmacies and community health centers for those who are high risk, over the age of 65 or have another condition that may make their immune system suppressed. in order to get that, it's simple. search test to treat in your local browser and it can bring you to a website where you type in your zip code and find a local center to be able to have access to a pharmacy or even a health care provider to be able to provide you a prescription. medications should be taken early on, similar to the way we treat with tamiflu. >> we heard phil mention there's an uptick in some parts of the country. what does this mean for the future of the pandemic? is covid going to be this year
