Vitamin D deficiency has emerged as a primary risk factor for severe COVID-19 infection and death. Higher vitamin D levels have even been shown to lower your risk of testing positive for the virus in the first place
According to a Spanish study, 82.2% of COVID-19 patients tested were found to be deficient in vitamin D
One study found your risk of developing a severe case of, and dying from, COVID-19 decreases once your vitamin D level gets above 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L)
Vitamin D can reduce your risk of respiratory infections including COVID-19 via several different mechanisms, including reducing the survival and replication of viruses, reducing inflammatory cytokine production and maintaining endothelial integrity

As such, it would be foolish to ignore, especially since vitamin D supplements are readily available and low cost
