Oxygen concentrator

Asked for Male, 62 Years

My mom and both tested positive for Covid. It's been 1 week. Following medication. Their spo2 levels are above 95%. Still fever goes on and off. My question is if anytime the oxygen level drops, we cannot go for a hospital bed. Not available in our town. So can I het a oxygen concentrator at home? If yes can anyone suggest the requirement and features of the concentrator.
