The federal "test-to-treat" program, announced in March , is meant to reduce covid hospitalizations and deaths by quickly getting antiviral pills to people who test positive. But large swaths of the country had no test-to-treat pharmacies or health centers listed as of April 14. Reporters searched online and in person for covid testing and treatment appointments in April. Only half listed any future testing appointments available. Montana has four public-facing test-to-treat clinics, according to the federal website and Jon Ebelt, a spokesperson for Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services.
