As the pandemic continues, people are spending more time in their homes–and housing conditions have never been more important. This is especially vital for those with asthma. Sheltering in place can mean increased exposure to indoor asthma triggers like pests and mold, while COVID safety protocols could limit or delay inspections, repairs and other services.
