Can you take antibiotics for COVID? WHO updates its guidelines on antibiotic usage for patients

The World Health Organization (WHO) now advises against using antibiotics for COVID-19 patients without confirmed bacterial infections, even in severe cases. This updated guideline stems from research showing antibiotics don’t improve outcomes for COVID-19 alone and aims to combat antimicrobial resistance. The WHO emphasizes careful clinical management of COVID-19, especially for high-risk groups, while adapting to the evolving virus.
