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
