Asthma is a respiratory system disease characterized by symptoms of coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing. Pursed lips breathing is one of the non-pharmacological measures used to treat asthma recurrence. The patients who followed were 10 people. This community service method was in the form of education using leaflets and power points and was attended by 10 asthma patients. The activity began with a pre-test, delivery of material, and ends with a post-test. The results of this activity revealed an increase in knowledge of asthma patients with good criteria as much as 70% and quite as much as 30%. Thus, Pursed lips breathing can effectively prevent the risk of recurrence in asthma patients.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory system disease that results in flu-like symptoms. It is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) which was initially transmitted from either sea animals, wild animals like bats, or pet animals like dogs, and cats to humans. Since the occurrence of the first human COVID-19 case in China in 2019, the disease uses a trans-human transmission pathway. Its pathogenesis is almost similar to other respiratory diseases.
