What do you do if you cant get to a hospital if you are severely ill with corona?
Having an oxygen concentrator along with a Bipap machine can make the difference between life or death. Sustaining oxygen while waiting for emergency personnel to reach you is your best bet.

If I have symptoms of the coronavirus, should I continue using my CPAP?
If you have symptoms of the coronavirus, you should isolate yourself in a separate bedroom and use a separate bathroom, if available. In this “recovery room,” you can continue to use CPAP while you sleep alone. Be sure to follow these steps for routine CPAP care:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after handling the CPAP device, mask, tubing and filters.
- Clean your CPAP equipment according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Change filters and accessories as directed in your CPAP user guide.
- Avoid letting anyone smoke in your home, especially around the CPAP machine.
- Keep pets away from your CPAP machine.
- Use distilled water in your humidifier to keep the tub clean
