COVId 19: Does your husband have underlying pulmonary disease? Do his oxygen levels usually run low? Don't know what his symptoms are but am thinking that he is not oxygenating so well. Please have him contact his medical provider. Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, significant & persistent chest pain or new-onset of confusion.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
