Chronic condition: Chronic conditions of the respiratory tract are at higher risk for complications. Watch for signs of worsening, including wheezing. Use regular asthma medications.

Asthma & covid: That depends. If you mild or well controlled asthma - that is not likely to be a significant issue. If you have severe or uncontrolled asthma - that is considered to increase risk for more severe COVID 19 illness.
