Can living in a polluted area be a risk factor for covid-19?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: Anything which negatively impacts your ability to breath can impact your issues with COVID 19. For instance, you have asthma and the polution worsens your symptoms. The poorly controlled asthma is a risk factor for more severe COVID 19 infection.
