Spo2 levels during Covid
I have been having Covid symptoms since morning. Have given RT PCR test... But started with medicines after consulting a doctor via Practo. Spo2 reading is varying from 93 to 97 in left index finger. While it's 97-99 in right index. Will the values differ between two fingers? What shall be the ideal range? When is this a cause of worry? My fever is currently 101' F.

Spo2 fluctuations is common.
Alway look for proper wave in spo2 machine . If proper wave is coming then only consider that reading reliable.
If spo2 is continuously less then 92 in resting condition in both hand finger in sitting position then only it is matter of concern
