Protecting the lungs from COVID-19 – Strategies to reduce the disease burden in your patients

In this webinar, experts will review the impact of COVID-19 on respiratory health and patients with asthma and COPD. They will review the strategies to protect these patients as well as managing these conditions during the pandemic.
