No, it is not. If someone with the disease exposes your household particularly your bedroom to the virus, the CPAP unit could increase the susceptibility to getting the virus. Simply having sleep apnea and using CPAP doesn't increase your risk. Having untreated sleep apnea could theoretically increase your risk as asthma and COPD does.
