A common cold virus may help fight COVID-19
A lab-based study has found that a virus that causes the common cold can trigger an innate immune response against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.
In theory, infections with the common cold virus could inhibit the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among members of a population and reduce the severity of infections.
Further research could lead to control strategies or treatments that exploit such interactions between viruses.
