A video conference was held between Shanghai and overseas Chinese embassies and organizations, when a COVID-19 expert gave nutrition recommendations to people who are affected by the harrowing disease.

On April 15, Dr. Zhang Wenhong, leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, answered a string of questions from overseas Chinese in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and some other European countries.

Besides giving an analysis of the trend of the pandemic and precautionary measures against the novel coronavirus, Zhang gave his advice to patients who have received a mild infection. He said, “Antibodies will not be generated if you just eat porridge and pickles! As long as you have appetite, you should make sure you eat enough milk, eggs, as well as necessary meat and vegetables. Those who like fish soup should also eat the fish residues! The most important thing at this stage is nutrition, nutrition, nutrition!”
