A simple research resolution to the BCG puzzle?

Griff Hawkins writes:

The article: BCG vaccination and reduced morbidity and mortality for COVID-19 — non-peer reviewed US study, published in last week's MedicalBrief, raises interesting questions

Surely a quick and effective to check the effect of the BCG vaccine would be to canvass the tens of thousands of South African medical personnel who are at present working in the UK and then to compare their infection rate and death rate with that of other UK personnel who never were vaccinated?
