Chandler Griffin, spokesman for San Juan Basin Public Health, talks Thursday about the importance of the mobile monoclonal antibody treatment unit for those who have tested positive for COVID-19. The mobile unit, sent to Durango by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, is set up near the COVID-19 testing site at the La Plata County Fairgrounds. “We really advocated the state to send the mobile unit here,” Griffin said. “Because of the current COVID-19 surge, this treatment has a strong possibility of keeping people out of the hospital.” (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
