It's good to know that Cheech and Chong will be safe, as researchers have found that compounds that naturally occur in cannabis may prevent COVID-19 infection.

The researchers at Oregon State University found that cannabinoid acids from hemp were able to block the virus that causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, from entering human epithelial cells.

Epithelial cells "form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities, and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands," according to the National Cancer Institute. The cells do a lot, including protection from viruses.
