Tell your family members to hide the pulse oximeter. Try to have a normal life. Repeated CT chest is also not required.

Pl do not measure, so many times. The battery will be discharged soon, and may show wrong reading. Pl consult Pulmonologist online and psychologist. Good counseling is needed for many in this pandemic.
