Nov 12 , 2020 by PrimeClean

We have heard so many bad things related to CPAP treatment and the COVID19 pandemic. Today, we will give you the latest and the most accurate answers you need to consider and keep in mind. We will also cover CPAP Ozone Cleaners and why they are essential.

People With Health Issues And COVID19

People with sleep apnea, lung diseases, or any chronic diseases are in a higher danger than those without these conditions when it comes to the COVID19 virus. But, the first data was inaccurate. Although sleep apnea does affect COVID19 progress, it affects it in a smaller percentage than we thought. You should consider CPAP Ozone Cleaners if you are a CPAP patient. We must add that using CPAP treatment during the pandemic is essential!

We also must add that sleep is important, especially for people who may come in contact with the aforementioned virus. People who sleep 6 or fewer hours per night are 4 times at a higher risk of catching the virus. You need to sleep between 7 and 9 hours per night. We all know that sleep apnea affects sleep and quality, hence CPAP treatment must be used.

When you sleep enough, your body will be more capable of protecting you from the virus. Your immune system will work perfectly and will be able to defend the body and mind from the mentioned virus and also other threats that may cause other conditions and problems.

How To Protect Yourself From The Virus?

There are a lot of things you can do if you want to protect yourself from the COVID19 virus. The best and most effective methods are mentioned below.

Wash your hands longer than 20 seconds using soap
Disinfect all surfaces that may contain the virus
Only use hand sanitizers that contain 60% alcohol or more
Keep 6 feet distance from other people
Avoid all gatherings if possible
Stay in touch with the latest news and updates

Don’t forget that many people get the COVID19 virus without major symptoms so they can still infect you. If you are a CPAP patient, the best thing to do is to stay home, avoid gatherings, and try to stay healthy.

What If You Catch The Virus?

If this happens, the first thing to do is to stay calm. Keep in mind that the virus will need between 2 and 14 days to show the symptoms, which may include fever, cough, loss of smell, and shortness of breath. Contact your doctor if you are worried.

If there are no major symptoms, you may stay in quarantine and you may be able to cure the virus all by yourself, without any hospital visits. Keep in mind that you still need to use the same methods for protection as we have mentioned above so you decrease the risk of re-catching the virus again.

Continue using CPAP treatment

If you are one of many people who have been using CPAP treatment to treat sleep apnea or some other condition, during the pandemic you must continue using it, period. The only thing you will need to change is how and when you clean your CPAP equipment.
