In line with the Government’s strategy of living with COVID-19, the Antivirals and Therapeutics Taskforce closed on 31 March 2023. Ongoing functions were transferred to other teams across the Department and the wider healthcare system, in line with wider responsibilities for research, regulation and deployment of medicines.

The National Health Service will continue to oversee treatment of COVID-19 patients and will operate in line with evidence-based recommendations from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, following the established processes in this area.
