- If you're looking for coronavirus tips that might help keep you safe, there's an important one you can add to the list that comes from a COVID-19 survivor.
- You know you need 3-layer face masks for everyday use, FDA-authorized KN95 face masks for higher-risk situations, and Purell hand sanitizer to carry with you everywhere, but you should also get yourself a pulse oximeter.
- These devices can help alert you to a possible coronavirus infection before any noticeable symptoms present, and Amazon's best-selling model is only $29.95 right now.
Everyone knows that there are a few things we need to have at all times in order to protect ourselves and our families from the novel coronavirus. First and foremost, it goes without saying that you need face masks. Amazon's best-selling coronavirus face masks are great for normal everyday use, and they're on sale right now for just $0.48 each when you clip the coupon on the product page. FDA-authorized Powecom KN95 face masks offer even better protection in higher-risk situations like on public transportation or any indoor space where you're in close proximity to others, and they're on sale for under $1 each today. And if you want the best of the best, actual 3M N100 face masks are in stock right now and 10-packs are $30 less than normal. Just be sure to cover the valve on these masks if you want to be extra cautious for those around you.

In addition to face masks, you definitely should stock up on hand sanitizer. Purell is actually available right now on Amazon, shocking though it may be, and Suave hand sanitizer is the second-most popular brand we've been covering lately and unlike Purell, prices aren't too inflated.
Purell Advanced Instant Gel Hand Sanitizer, Flip Top Bottle, 16 Oz, 70% Alcohol (Case of 12): $159.99 ($0.83 / ounce)
Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer Gel 1 OZ Travel Size (4 Pack): $19.99 for 4 bottles
Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer Refreshing Gel, 1 Fl Oz: $4.99
Suave Hand Sanitizer Alcohol Based Kills 99.9% of Germs 10 oz,Pack of 6: $26.94 for 6 bottles
There obviously a few more things you need like hand soap and paper towels, but there's one more thing that you really need to make sure you have on hand.
What's this additional item that you need so desperately? It's called a pulse oximeter, and it's a tiny little gadget that clips onto the end of your finger and reads your blood oxygen saturation. Why is it so important? Because it can alert you to a possible coronavirus infection long before anything else that's readily available — and that includes a thermometer. Many people who have COVID-19 don't ever get a fever, as we've seen in several studies.

COVID-19 attacks many parts of the body but it typically wreaks the most havoc on your lungs. Long before any other symptoms present, a COVID-19 infection can hinder the lungs' ability to draw oxygen from the air. This causes blood oxygen levels to drop, and that's why monitoring your blood oxygen level can be crucial in catching a possible coronavirus infection as early as possible. One coronavirus survivor who has been battling COVID-19 recently reminded everyone of this on Twitter:

In a healthy person, blood oxygen saturation should be anywhere between 95% and 100%. According to the Mayo Clinic, anything below 90% is considered unhealthy. In coronavirus patients, blood oxygen saturation as low as 50% has been observed. The Zacurate Pro Series 500DL Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is the best-selling model on Amazon and it only costs $29.95, so there's really no reason not to get one. It only takes a few seconds to take a reading so you can do it each day, and then reach out to your doctor if you find any cause for concern.
