The Department of Health WA has supplied the Shire with Oximeters to distribute to community members who fit within the following categories:
- 60+ years
- 50+ years (aboriginal descent)
- Pregnant
The Oximeter can be collected from the Shire administration building in Wyndham or Kununurra. You will need to provide your contact details and address to receive one. The Shire can only provide ONE Oximeter per household.
The Oximeter can be used to read your heart rate and blood oxygen level. If you become COVID-19 positive, you may need to be remotely monitored through the WA COVID Care at Home program. By having a pulse oximeter already in your home, a health professional can assess you and provide health advice from the comfort of your home.
For more information on the Oximeter and how to register for the ‘COVID-Care at Home’ Program visit the Healthy WA website >
