description OBJECTIVES: We initiated an outpatient pulse oximetry program to facilitate more rapid detection of clinical deterioration of persons with COVID-19. METHODS: Vermont residents in non-congregate settings with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were eligible for inclusion. RESULTS: Acceptance of pulse oximetry occurred more frequently among those who were older or symptomatic, spoke English, or who had underlying medical conditions. CONCLUSIONS: We provide the first description of an outpatient pulse oximetry program for COVID-19 by a state health department in the U.S.
