COVID-19 and Asthma: Great question. Yes asthma is a chronic lung disease which carries some increased risk with COVID-19. Good asthma control along with good handwashwng, social distancing avoiding unnecessary travel along with your young age should keep your risk of complications low. Smoking, hypertension, diabetes, obesity or compromised immune system are also risk factors to be considered.

COVID 19: Mild asthma is not as much of a concern. People with moderate to severe asthma (that is not well - controlled) have an increased risk of a poor outcome with COVID 19. REF: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/asthma.html

With COVID 19 they talk about underlying disease and co morbities as increased risk factors in death. If you have hypertension that is controlled to normal w/medication and asthma that is controlled w/rare symptoms is this still elevated risk? Thanks
