In December, 2019, several  cases  of pneumonia  of unknown cause was identified  in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. Further analysis revealed the  reason of an outbreak – a novel β  coronavirus which was named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that causes coronavirus disease 2019  - COVID-19. The outbreak of novel coronavirus  has spread rapidly worldwide. At the same time, scientists started working hard to create a medicine  and a vaccine. However, there is still no specific drug for COVID-19 now. In this situation, before creating specific treatment and vaccine,  it is especially important to find some  therapeutic option that may have a positive effect in the prevention or treatment of the disease. We have reviewed the literature on the possible link between vitamin D and COVID-19.
