A member asked:
Please elaborate will sunlight directly affect (promote) my covid-19 condition? is there any proven effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Won't hurt: There is some studying being done presently to determine if sunlight and/or UV light will kill the virus on surfaces. I've never heard of sunlight making Covid-19 "worse". If you are already infected with the virus, it's not likely sunlight will have an affect. Remdesivir if indicated, has been shown to shorten the course of the infection.
