During this COVID-19 pandemic, a couple of the most important things we have to monitor frequently are our body temperatures and blood oxygen levels. These are helpful ways to see if a person has caught the virus or not, since frequent symptoms of COVID-19 include low oxygen levels and high temperatures. It’s still not the same as an actual formal PCR test, but catching these symptoms early on would help determine whether one needs to take the formal test or not.

For temperatures, an in-ear thermometer is recommended instead of the now more common contactless thermoguns, since the former is more accurate than the latter. And for oxygen levels, you should make use of a pulse oximeter, which is a small handy device that is usually slid over your fingertip and makes use of infrared light refraction to see how well oxygen is picked up by your red blood cells. It’s easy to use and convenient to keep on hand at home, but prices can usually go up to PHP 2,000 or even more. So make sure you add to cart at least one of these budget-friendly pulse oximeters!
