Sunday's papers include reports the first at-home Covid treatment could be offered before Christmas.
The Sunday Telegraph says the first at-home Covid treatment will be offered to patients by Christmas. According to the paper, Health Secretary Sajid Javid is preparing to announce the beginning of a national pilot of Lagevrio, also known as molnupiravir. Under plans, courses of the tablet could be delivered to clinically vulnerable and immunosuppressed patients within 48 hours of a positive Covid test, the paper adds.
Medics have expressed their anger at being unable to treat seriously ill patients, the Sunday Times reports, as 90% of coronavirus patients requiring the most specialist care are unvaccinated. The paper shares warnings from doctors that some transplant operations are not going ahead and that complex cancer surgeries are being delayed.Meanwhile, the Sunday People leads with Paula Hudgell's campaign for a child abuse register following the death of six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes.
