As COVID-19 affects the lungs and airways, it has become more important than ever for people with asthma to have access to the support they need.
.
🌎 On #WorldAsthmaDay and #CharityTuesday, The Duchess of Gloucester has sent a message to AsthmaUK and others supporting people with asthma at this time.
.
“To everyone contributing to these efforts - whether it’s in person, over the telephone or virtually - I know you are under extraordinary pressure to keep people with asthma safe, and you are doing an extraordinary job. Thank you.”
. 
HRH has been Patron of AsthmaUK since 1975. Visit our stories to read the message in full.
.
📷 The Duchess also joined a call with Chief Executive Kay, services lead Helen and asthma nurse Caroline from AsthmaUK yesterday, to hear more about their work at this busy time. This includes:
.
📞A specialist asthma helpline, which saw eight times more calls than normal during March.
❓Advice on shielding, inhaler shortages and support for key workers with children in high-risk groups.
👥Online health advice from in-house experts.
💻A new, dedicated Post-COVID online hub and helpline, set up to support anyone affected by breathing difficulties after contracting COVID-19.
