CanTreatCOVID relies on volunteers, community partners and organizations to help share the study.

The study aims to identify effective, affordable and evidence-based medications for COVID to help people feel better faster, reduce hospital stays and emergency department visits, and prevent long COVID.

Listed below are different ways to share CanTreatCOVID with friends, family, community, and networks.

You may also order printed materials such as postcards, flyers, and posters using this link or by emailing info@cantreatcovid.org. Together, we can change the future of COVID-19 treatments.

Why partner with us?

• We will help you save time. You can refer patients to our study, and we will screen if they are eligible to receive COVID medications, including Paxlovid. This research is a randomized controlled trial; if eligible, your patient will be randomized to either active treatment or usual care.
• This study is the fastest way to answer whether these medications are effective, particularly in a highly vaccinated population.
  
• CanTreatCOVID is helping us launch the new Canadian Primary Care Trials Network, finally creating evidence in the real world of primary care.
