    In collaboration with WHO, SPC and national counterparts, FAO produced this community based education leaflet for nutrition behaviours during Covid-19. Emphasizing that at the moment, no food can prevent COVID-19, the document uses graphics to highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy diet for health, immunity and nutritional well-being, especially before, during and after an infection. It encourages people to consume a balanced variety of foods - representing protective, body building and energy foods - daily to ensure adequate intake of nutrients. While discouraging cigarettes and alcohol, the leaflet encourages exclusive breastfeeding and physical activity. The rationale is to provide clear, easy to understand science based nutrition and food safety to the population during this time of uncertainties under COVID-19.

    Maintaining a healthy diet during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020
    The COVID-19 pandemic is causing many changes in the daily lives of people around the world, but there are things that can be done to maintain a healthy lifestyle in these difficult times. Everyone is encouraged to follow World Health Organization (WHO) guidance and governmental advice to protect against COVID-19 infection and transmission. Physical distancing and good hygiene are the best protection for yourself and others against COVID-19. Good nutrition is very important before during and after an infection. While no foods or dietary supplements can prevent COVID-19 infection, maintaining a healthy diet is an important part of supporting a strong immune system.
