▪️ fever more than 37.5 degrees

If you do have COVID-19, an early diagnosis can help with treatment and prevent the spread to the people around you.

COVID-19 PULSE OXIMETER AVAILABLE

PULSE OXIMETERS AVAILABLE NOW - ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?

A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive handheld device that measures a person's blood oxygen level and heart rate.
They are used to assist with care of people with COVID-19 in their own home.

With the support of the Department of Health, the Shire of Exmouth has a stock of pulse oximeters available free of charge for eligible members of the community.

To check your eligibility, answer the questions:
- Are you non-Aboriginal ad over 65?
- Are you Aboriginal and over 50?
- Are you pregnant?

If you answered YES to any of those questions, collect your free pulse oximeter from the Shire Office Front Counter Monday to Friday between 8.00 - 16.30 PM.
