I'm worried about overcoming covid-19?

I'm 62 years old and have covid. When won't I have to worry anymore? I've had it for 9 days my oxygen levels go from 85 to 93 when I put on my oxygen it reaches 95. I have COPD and am worried am I over the hump or will I regress backwords?

If you are truly that concerned, have had Covid for over a week, still feel symptomatic, and need to use oxygen I would strongly consider discussing this with my healthcare provider and possibly getting admitted into the hospital for closer observation in treatment. I wish you well and hope for the best.

Be well
