If people with comorbidities contract coronavirus, it may cause inflammation, which will make it easy for the infection to invade the lungs. For patients of asthma, lung fibrosis or heart disease, the risk of death increases when they also contract the infection, he said.

Some recent studies have stated that certain air pollutants are likely to enhance susceptibility to COVID-19 death outcomes, the doctor said. Dr Raziya Nagarwala, a cardiovascular and pulmonary physiotherapist from Sancheti Institute of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, said people suffering from lung-related issues are vulnerable to severe COVID-19 complications.

This is the reason why we had requested people to avoid bursting firecrackers in the festive season. When we breathe in pollutants, it not only affects our respiratory system, but it also negatively impacts our immunity, she said. She further stated that if a person’s lungs are already weak, the chances of contracting COVID-19 increase.

We have seen many complications while administering physiotherapy to COVID-19 patients, who were already suffering from lung-related disease. Everyone should wear a mask because it not only reduces the viral spread, but it also prevents us from breathing in pollutants, she said.
