"A national system for distributing pulse oximeters to Covid patients isolating at home is being developed and devices have already been secured, says the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry also intends to set up a digital service for collecting readings from the devices.
The government has revealed plans to eventually manage between 90-95 percent of Covid infections in the community using a mix of telehealth services and pulse oximeters that clip onto a person’s finger and measure oxygen saturation. "
