Can Coronavirus affect asthmatic and thyroid patients?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please note that there are two important things that decide the fate of a person suffering from COVID-19. These are immunity and viral load. If your immunity is good but the viral load is too much outcome will be poor and if immunity is poor and the viral load is less outcome again will be poor. Both immunity and viral load are under our control. Please note that hypothyroidism or asthma will put you at a very low risk for COVID-19. So it is fine. For immunity, general good nutrition will help. There is no specific need of taking vitamin and mineral capsules for it. As regards viral load, it can be controlled by social distancing and by reducing exposure to anybody and everybody outside your house. This rule applies to each and every member of the house. As soon as you come back home, it is advisable to have a bath with soap and water and to keep the clothes immediately for washing. When outside wear a mask covering both nose and mouth at all times. Also, avoid touching your face when outside. Unless you have cleaned your hands with soap and water, do not touch any part of your face.
