A member asked:
If a young person needs a cpap machine does this put them at higher risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, unless: Unless there is also another condition affecting the lower respiratory tract, the use of CPAP for sleep apnea should not increase risk of acquiring COVID 19. Clean and use the unit as usual, and stay home while avoiding contacts. Monitor your temperature and drink fluids.
