There doesn't seem much evidence that Vitamin D is likely to help with the current virus. It appears that it only helps with coughs and colds.

Neverthless, if people are staying indoors more and aren't being exposed to sunlight, Vitamin D supplements wouldn't bad idea.

I just thought I would post this because I have read that vitamin d- one tablet a day helps against respiratory infections. You only have to take one little tablet with food and you must take it even in the summer. This doctor was saying that it’s not pseudoscience it’s backed by information from Nice where they’ve done studies to show that it really helps.
