Queues formed at supermarkets and pharmacies yesterday, the first day of the distribution of free oximeters to every household in Singapore.
The device, given out by Temasek Foundation, checks the oxygen level in the blood to detect early signs of a deterioration in health.
This is meant to help the nation manage the spread of new and more infectious variants of the virus that causes Covid-19.
