Hi. i currently do not have any symptoms but i am asthmatic. had previous tb. and a healthcare worker. a radiographer. i wanted to check if i qualify for an oximeter. i am currently checking my temp everyday but is it enough?

Concerns : An oximeter would be helpful to measure oxygen levels but more practically having shortness of breath or chest symptoms would be a concerning symptom. As you know, there are ways to prevent getting COVID 19, wear a N95 mask at work, keep at least 6 feet from people, keep your hands clean, and don't touch your face.
