To the editor:

Many of us will be well enough, if we come down with coronavirus / COVID-19, to get better at home. However, if you have or are recovering from COVID-19, the use of CPAP or BiPAP may increase the risk of transmission to others near you, like housemates or bed partners, when you use your machine. The risk of transmission occurs during use, as well as shortly after, as the virus may hang in the air for up to a few hours after you turn off your machine.
