People with Asthma or Lungs Conditions Should not Wear Face Masks- Experts warn
Experts have warned that people who have asthma or other lung conditions should not wear a face mask because it could make it difficult for them to breathe.
People have been advised to wear face masks when in public or in the midst of other people. This is because the coronavirus is a respiratory virus, meaning it infects people when it is breathed in and attaches to cells inside the airways and the lungs.
However, people who have asthma or other lung illnesses may find it difficult to breathe with face coverings. Masks can make it more difficult to draw air into the lungs and this may trigger asthma for some patients and can also cause anxiety which changes people’s breathing patterns.
The problem for such people is that they are also at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill if they do catch the virus. Therefore, experts say people should wear a mask if they can breathe comfortably, to protect themselves and others around them, but not risk their own health in the process.
According to the official guidance from the Britain’s Cabinet Office which says: “If you can, wear a face covering in an enclosed space where social distancing isn’t possible and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet. This is most relevant for short periods indoors in crowded areas, for example, on public transport or in some shops.”
It also adds: “Face coverings should not be used by children under the age of 2 or those who may find it difficult to manage them correctly. For example, primary age children unassisted, or those with respiratory conditions.”
Asthma UK says: “For some people with asthma, wearing a face covering might not be easy. It could make it feel harder to breathe.
“The government has advised that people with respiratory conditions don’t need to wear face coverings, so if you are finding it hard, then don’t wear one.”

The lawmakers regretted that “the only plan on COVID-19 vaccine for Nigeria is the pledge by Global Alliance for Vaccine Initiative (GAVI) to support 20 per cent of the country’s requirement.”
This support, according to them, would cover only the cost of the treatment without taking care of logistics for distribution and administration.
The legislature added: “Despite the change in the epidemiology trends of the disease, the financial plan developed by the country and World Bank in April 2020 to fund the response to the pandemic is still being implemented without taking due cognisance of the changes by re-allocating the funds to vaccine procurement.”
It noted that failure to administer vaccines in the nation would result in Nigeria’s inability to contain further infections and a possible ban on Nigerians by countries across the world.
