The State Health Department is offering free pulse oximeters to vulnerable members of the community.
A pulse oximeter is a small peg-like device that clips onto your finger to read your heart rate and blood oxygen level.
Having a pulse oximeter allows you to participate in the free COVID at-home care program if you test positive, allowing symptoms to be tracked and provides support during your recovery.
If you are eligible you can pick one up from us here at the Shire of Manjimup administration office.
If you can answer yes to the following questions you are eligible to receive a free pulse oximeter:
Are you non-Aboriginal and over 65?
Are you Aboriginal and over 50?
Are you pregnant?
Only collect if you are well and have not tested positive for COVID-19. If you have received a positive COVID-19 test result, the Department of Health will contact you and provide further information
One per household is available
