Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 26) The government is finalizing plans to distribute care package kits for COVID-19 patients who are recuperating at home.
The home care package is similar to the ongoing initiative of the Office of Vice President Leni Robredo, wherein they give face masks, thermometer, pulse oximeter, and basic needs of mild and asymptomatic patients who seek help in their teleconsultation platform Bayanihan E-Konsulta.
Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire on Monday said the kit from the national government will contain face masks, face shield, disinfectant, vitamins, and paracetamol.
It will also include thermometer, but they have yet to check the available budget if they can provide a pulse oximeter, a small clamp-like device painlessly attached to the finger to constantly monitor the amount of oxygen in the blood.
