The Mandi Ahmedgarh SDM Dev Darashdeep Singh had appealed to residents to cooperate with the administration and donate pulse oximeters after recycling kits once used by Covid survivors. Now when the administration is facing shortage we request Covid survivors to return oximeters lying idle at their homes” the SDM said. The Health Department owing to the ongoing shortage is either supplying Fateh kits sans oximeters or trying to recycle used pulse oximeters.
