How do viral infections like COVID-19 affect bronchi?

COVID-19 affects the bronchi by causing inflammation and excessive mucus production, leading to airway obstruction. It can also damage the cilia, reducing their ability to clear mucus, which results in difficulty breathing and increased risk of secondary infections.
