Get care immediately. At a minimum, tell your doctor or clinic -- whoever gave instructions about checking your oxygen levels -- about these results. If the level drops at all below 92%, go to an emergency room. Good luck.

Watch for signs of difficulty breathing, worsening cough and chest tightness. If these occur, please see the Emergency Department. If the Oxygen saturation levels trend downward, please let your physician know and follow up. COVID 19 often worsens before improvement is noted.
