Abstract :
Since December 2019, coronavirus infection disease-2019 (COVID-19) due to a new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome type 2 (SARS-CoV2) infection, occurred mainly in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, and spread worldwide throughout a short period of time. The COVID-19 pandemic is shaking the world. To date, the route of infection, treatment methods, and the process since infection have not been clarified. Therefore, various researches and studies are being carried out at a rapid pace in research institutions around the world to clarify the novel coronavirus. Vitamin D helps to balance calcium and helps maintain bone health. Vitamin D is considered to be physiologically effective for enhancing immunity, cancer, diabetes, autism, and making the body easy to conceive. Recent studies have reported an association between the amount of vitamin D in the body and the severity of COVID-19. In this review, we provide a compact, comprehensive description of the relationship between vitamin D and COVID-19.
