If I have COVID-19, will CPAP cause it to get worse?

It is unclear whether CPAP can worsen COVID-19. If you have symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19, the best practice is to sleep alone by isolating yourself in a separate bedroom. You can continue to use CPAP while sleeping in this isolated room. Talk to your physician if you have any concerns.
