“Some of the misconceptions include: belief that Asthma is infectious and inflicted through witchcraft, asthma is a childhood disease; it can be cured through alternative medical intervention and People suffering from Asthma should avoid exercise. “People with asthma should therefore take precautions when any type of respiratory illness is spreading in the community. While people with asthma are not at the highest risk for COVID-19, it is still important to keep your asthma under control.”
