Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee on Wednesday signed into state law a measure to allow people to more easily obtain ivermectin to treat COVID-19, without needing a doctor’s prescription.

The bill, SB 2188 (pdf), authorizes a pharmacist to provide ivermectin to a patient aged 18 or older, “pursuant to a collaborative pharmacy practice agreement containing a non-patient-specific prescriptive order, developed and executed by one or more authorized prescribers.”
