Oxygen saturation level
Its been more than 1 month since my father got cured of covid but his oxygen saturation level is always around 94%. We always check with 2 different oximeter but the result is always around 94%. Is this normal post covid? especially since my father is 67 years of age. Also is there anything to worry about?
