COVID-19 and biologics in severe asthma: data from the Belgian Severe Asthma Registry
Epidemiological studies suggest that patients with asthma are not at an increased risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) [1–3].
