Although Israel has stopped requiring people to wear facemasks outdoors, these Covid-year accessories likely protected many of us not only from Covid-19 but also from asthma and allergies.
That is the conclusion of a study conducted by Prof. Nancy Agmon-Levin, head of Sheba Medical Center’s Clinical Immunology, Angioedema and Allergy Unit.
Levin’s study found that during the past year of the pandemic, the number of urgent visits to the medical center’s emergency unit by asthma patients dropped by 49 percent. Hospitalization of severe asthma patients dropped by 65% in that same period.
