The second wave of the COVID-19 crisis is ravaging the country. While you may be staying indoors and following all safety precautions, you should still be prepared for the worst! You don’t want to be scrambling at the last minute to get your hands on important medical supplies.

Below is the list of things you need to add to your COVID-19 Emergency Kit.

Pulse Oximeter

To keep a check on your oxygen saturation level, Pulse Oximeter is the best tool. Through this, you can constantly check and ensure that your oxygen level does not fall below 92.

Digital Thermometer

This electronic device will ensure that your temperature doesn’t go beyond 102 degrees for more than 2 days in a row.

Triple-Layered Surgical Mask

Triple-Layered Surgical Mask is really important for the patients as well as the one taking care of them

Hand Sanitizer & Hand Wash

This will ensure that your hands are clean all the time and at the same time contain the virus from spreading.

Medicines

You need to ensure that your medical kit has important medicines like Panadol, Paracetamol, Vitamin C, and Vitamin B Complex. Before consuming any of these medicines please make sure that your doctors approve of them.

Gloves

The non-infected family member should always wear gloves especially to handle the patient’s belonging and waste.

If you have not prepared your emergency kit yet then get on it fast, you never know when the country runs out of these essentials. Another important thing to keep in mind is to keep your emergency kit in an accessible location, such as a lounge or hall, where it’s easy for everyone to reach.
