Post covid recovery

2021-07-05 17:54:06
My husband tested covid+ve on 19thl May. He was hospitalized on 24th May and he was on oxygen support from 29th May to 18th June. He discharged on 22nd June. Since 14 days he is on home isolation and he doesn't have any issues. His oxygen level is 96-98% while sitting and lying and after finishing breathing exercises his oxygen level is 94-96%. His oxygen level is fluctuating between these percentage its not constant. Is it ok? and another concern is his respiratory rate is 22-24 per minute but he doesn't have breathing issues. Is it normal? When will it get settled?

Oxygen level is ok. Please confirm the respiratory rate by counting yourself or showing it to a doctor. It is slightly high. Although nothing much to worry about.
