oximetry function and heart rate in COVID monitoring? ### only for prevention ###

Hello ,
is it possible to use the oximetry function and heart rate in COVID monitoring? 
And for example to activate an alarm if the saturation is too low? 
I'm not a doctor, but I think oximetry and heart rate are useful metrics?

Hi,

1. Garmin react in around 4 weeks also if its urgent. Dosent expect anything just in time.

2. if you are not a doctor? How will you analyze it? If its unter 90% you rush to a doctor and tell him that your watch says you are infected by Covid?

Calm down
