Hi, I have sleep apnoea and the advice seems to be no, you’re not vulnerable unless you have other underlying health conditions. Have a look for the Hope2Sleep group on FB for more info

All the sources I've read have been no , but there may be some risk of the droplets spreading more than normal. I assume it because of the speed the air comes out at.

Thanks Goose yes I read that too. Will tell my friend not to worry like all things now just keep hand washing and keep things scrupulously clean.
