Asthma does not elevate the risk of severe coronavirus symptoms or death, a new study found.
The researchers reviewed 57 studies conducted on a total of 587,000 people to carry out their analysis.
Almost 350,000 people in the pool who had contracted Covid-19 were from Asia, Europe, and North and South America.
They found that people with asthma had a 14 per cent lower risk of contracting Covid-19 and were significantly less likely to be hospitalized with the virus.
Lead author Anthony Sunjaya from the University of New South Wales in Australia said, “While we showed that people with asthma do not seem to have a higher risk of infection with Covid-19 compared to those without asthma and have similar outcomes, we need further research to better understand how the virus affects those with asthma.”

Earth’s magnetic poles flipped 42,000 years ago, which may have triggered a global climate crisis, a new study found.
The resulting changes in temperatures and radiation levels may have killed off many large mammals.
The event may have ultimately contributed to the extinction of Neanderthals.
Earth saw a lot of commotion when its magnetic poles flipped 42,000 years ago.
Scientists have known about the flip since the late 1960s. Earth’s magnetic poles aren’t static – they’re generated by electric currents from the planet’s liquid outer core, which is constantly in motion. As of late, Earth’s magnetic North pole has wandered considerably on a path toward northern Russia.
