Haven’t heard there is an issue with Covid and asthma medications but worth checking with your pharmacist.

Please don't stop any medication without being told to, including if you have COVID. There is no evidence that inhaled steroids are bad with COVID - in fact some studies suggest they may even be helpful. Even if that weren't the case, however, you shouldn't stop your asthma meds if you have a viral infection.
COVID doesn't seem to be particularly worse for people with asthma but you still need to keep on top of your asthma treatment while you have it, just as you would if you didn't have it or you had a different illness.
