Cover Letters (2020 SA)

Hey all,

A good few applications for 2020 internships (Citi, PWP, few boutiques) don't require cover letters, and don't mention the need for them in the job posting, but there is a space to upload them in the application itself. Does HR actually read these letters, or are they unnecessary?
