One effect of sunlight exposure is to stimulate production of nitric oxide, which lowers blood pressure. Hypertension is one of the most common comorbid conditions for COVID-19 deaths. I don't know if there's a causal relationship but it could be worth further research.

That's interesting. Do you have pointers to relevant research?
