C- Caring for Your Lung health, and Each Other, at Home and in the Community

 This week, in the British Lung Foundation Facebook post, on “What should people with a lung condition do now?”  in comments toward the end of the post, regarding face coverings: “People with breathing problems and children under 2 or others who may find it difficult should not use face coverings.”

If you live with a lung condition that is not severe, the advice is to stay at home as much as you can and to take particular care to minimize contact with others outside your household. This is because you are at a moderate risk of serious illness if you catch the virus and you can lower the chance of getting it by reducing the number of people you come into contact with.

Discussions with your health care provider, especially regarding exercise, comfort, and symptom management are topics you may want to discuss, regarding your individual exercise plan.
