State officials said Regeneron’s clinically proven to reduce the risk of hospitalization and deaths in high-risk patients by about 70%.

ORLANDO, Fla. – For its third and final bowl game of the 2020 football season, Orlando hosted Northwestern and Auburn for the VRBO Citrus Bowl. Camping World Stadium previously hosted the Cheez-It Bowl and the Cure Bowl in December.
