Common Cold Protects Against Coronavirus: A new study by Imperial College London reveals that catching the common cold creates some immunity and protection against the Coronavirus. Dr. Rhia Kundu says, “Being exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus doesn’t always result in infection, and we’ve been keen to understand why. We found that high levels of pre-existing T cells, created by the body when infected with other human coronaviruses like the common cold, can protect against COVID-19 infection.”

Professor Ajit Lalvani says, “Our study provides the clearest evidence to date that T cells induced by common cold coronaviruses play a protective role against SARS-CoV-2 infection. These T cells provide protection by attacking proteins within the virus, rather than the spike protein on its surface.”
