Title:		Second update - Early Access to Medicines Scheme for Remdesivir in the treatment of COVID-19. Implementation of the scheme and management of supply.
Broadcast content:		This is the second update we have issued following the original alert of 26 May and the first update on 03 June. Given current positive medicine supply levels further (restrictive) access criteria beyond those described in the EAMS scientific opinion have now been removed. The access criteria may be further updated as required, for example as further evidence emerges, to reflect developing clinical experience and knowledge of demand and / or if medicine supply varies. Further information can be found in the attached alert.
Additional information:		This alert does not need to be cascaded to Primary Care.
