Covid 19 with spo2 below 95
My husband was diagnosed with covid 19 on 4th September. He had fever and loose motions from 1st September. The spo2 levels were 97 to 99. After test result was positive he was hospitalised from 5th September with 10 to 15 percent lung infection. For the past 3 days his spo2 levels are between 91 to 94 and he has been wearing oxygen mask all day in the hospital. Why is the spo2 low? What should be done to improve?

His spo2 is low due to the lung infection . He is in d hospital under care with oxygen.so they might have been giving antibiotics to treat the covid pneumonia. Oxygenation helps to improve
