Abstract

Subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are considered to be at high risk for a severe course of the disease caused by Covid-19. They were instructed to stay home and practice social distancing earlier than the general Dutch population. However, it is unclear whether patients with COPD are also more susceptible to the Covid-19 virus and whether environmental factors play a role in susceptibility and progression of Covid-19 related symptoms. We will study this in the Lifelines population.
