Like many of the country's 800,000 asthmatics, Gunnnel Larsson has many questions right now. Viral infections are a common cause of asthma getting worse and many asthmatics are worried that they will become very bad if infected by the corona virus.
- Yes I have thought about it and I probably feel more worried now than I do before a regular seasonal flu maybe because you have no protection and do not really know how exactly I would react to getting sick.
At the Asthma and Allergy Association, more information is requested from the Public Health Authority on the matter.
- There is definitely a great concern among our members many who get in touch with specific questions, I dare to send the children to school, should I go to work, I should avoid large crowds, and so on. You need to get the answers.
