Quote:


The researchers said there was "no evidence of effect modification of this association by inhaled corticosteroid prescription, history of severe exacerbation, or comorbid atopic diseases," and that only one child with asthma required hospitalization for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

"Taken together, these data suggest that asthma is not associated with worse outcomes among children and adolescents with SARS-CoV-2 infection," they wrote.
