The Ministry of Health recently released an advisory regarding the same, warning smokers that they are more vulnerable to novel coronavirus, developing severe symptoms or succumb to it

The statement was released after officials concurred the existence of the risk from several doctors since the infection is a respiratory one, which not just impairs the lungs and other vital organs in the body.
