There is no strong evidence supporting that patients with asthma have a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), although recent reports from the USA and the UK suggest that asthma is much more common in children and adults with mild to severe COVID-19 than has previously been reported in Asia and in Europe.
So far, there is no evidence that would suggest a more severe course of COVID-19 in patients with asthma.
The increased risk of hospitalisation due to COVID-19 in patients with asthma is largely associated with age and related comorbidities.

Large-scale studies confirm previous findings about a slightly increased incidence of COVID-19, but not of severe COVID-19, in asthma patients.
The findings from this study suggest that the prevalence of people with asthma among COVID-19 patients is similar to the global prevalence of asthma.
