Could a cold give you some covid protection?

Natural defences against a common cold could offer some protection against Covid-19, too, research suggests., involved 52 individuals who lived with someone who had just caught Covid-19.

But the experts caution that it would be a "grave mistake" to think that anyone who had recently had a cold was automatically protected against Covid-19 - as not all are caused by coronaviruses. These were likely to have been created when the body had been infected with another closely-related human coronavirus - most frequently, a common cold, they say.

He added: "These data should not be over-interpreted. It seems unlikely that everyone who has died or had a more serious infection, has never had a cold caused by a coronavirus.
