Not normally: If you have moderate to severe, poorly controlled asthma that has gotten significantly worse that might be a reason for admission.Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
