- Red leaflet: NUTRITION SUPPORT DURING AND AFTER COVID-19 ILLNESS if you are very unwell or have recently been discharged from hospital, or if you are struggling to eat enough, are underweight and/or you have lost weight recently without meaning to, your healthcare professional may feel that you need extra nutrition to meet your body’s needs and may prescribe nourishing drinks called ‘oral nutritional supplements’ for a short time.
