Is it safe to drive my 2003 wrx with the obd sensor reading code P0130?

Question

Ive noticed my car acting different, like it has a vaccuum leak or something, for a couple of days. Finally, today when i went to go start it the CEL came on. Obd read code P0130 for an o2 sensor circuit malfunction. I just want to know if it ia okay to drive the car as normal until my boyfriend/mechanic gets back in a few days. Overall, How much damage can the sensor circuit malfunction cause if not fixed right away?

HI there

You can drive it with this code. You might notice a difference in the gas mileage, but as far as running you won't even notice it at all.
