Managing your COPD with the threat of COVID-19

According to guidance published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), those who’re at a higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19 include:

• Elderly adults

• Residents of a nursing home or long-term care facility

• Individuals with certain underlying medical conditions with the risk increasing if the condition is out of control

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is just one of the underlying medical conditions that pose higher risks and poorer outcomes among people also suffering from coronavirus infection. Here at KareAid our objective is simple: To practice respiratory care at an exceptional level while offering counseling that points patients toward helpful, accurate resources that can help them enjoy a better, healthier life.
