Image Source: IANS News New York, Dec 10 : Awareness of guidelines to prevent Covid-19 is high among young asthma sufferers, but around a third of them do not comply with the measures, researchers have warned. The results, published in the Journal of Asthma, also reveal that a fifth of asthmatics believe they have no risk of suffering from Covid-19. "While asthma patients can be assumed to be at higher risk of developing respiratory complications from Covid-19, little is known about their adherence to prevention measures," said study author Francisco Vazquez-Nava from the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas in Mexico.
