“Lying face down is known as proning, it is a medically accepted position to improve oxygenation. If a patient's oxygen levels drop below 94 (when measured at home on an oximeter), the patient can lie on their tummy; this position improves ventilation and enables comfortable breathing," read the post shared by dancer Nora Fatehi.

The Instagram post further revealed that prone positioning has been used for treating patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). It also stated that proning should be avoided by pregnant women, patients with cardiac ailments, and those having spine, femur or pelvic fractures.

Many Bollywood celebrities such as Bhumi Pednekar, Taapsee Pannu, Sonu Sood, Alia Bhatt have been using their social media handles to help people procure essential COVID-19 supplies. These supplies include COVID-19 medications, beds, oxygen supplies, etc.
