Question 1

My father was corona positive around 70 days Ago. He was hospitalized and on oxygen therapy at home because of low saturation levels.Now he is without oxygen support from past 13days and his spo2% levels are 94-97 mostly.Sometimes it is showing low(below 90 as well)also but not stable at that point. If we recheck within 5mins it is normal ie 94 and above.Now we're returning oxygen cylinder. Is there any chance if it falls low again and will be a problem?

Continue oxygen therapy and saturated is monitored regularly.
