For treatment, the former representative said he received monoclonal antibody infusion therapy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dbjc4n\">\n<div id=\"id__yz6b0tp4udq\" class=\"css-901oao r-18jsvk2 r-37j5jr r-a023e6 r-16dba41 r-rjixqe r-bcqeeo r-bnwqim r-qvutc0\" dir=\"auto\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">Angela and I just completed the monoclonal antibody infusion therapy and are in the observation period.
