Abstract
In this protocol, the authors are going to illustrate all steps that should be done for all patients admitted to the hospital as a case infected with the coronavirus. The protocol helps to identify the patient who is at the risk of malnutrition. If malnutrition occurs especially in critically ill patients in the new crown (coronavirus), it will not only reduce respiratory muscle function and increase respiratory muscle weakness but also aggravate immune dysfunction and further worsen the disease. Therefore, carrying out reasonable nutrition assessment and support is important to prevent malnutrition among critically ill patients with new crowns to achieve suitable outcomes. Food safety and hygiene procedures are significant components of the overall hospital nutritional care. These practices deal with all aspects of foods receiving from farm and factory up to serving and food wastage. During the fourteen days of the recovery period, patients need isolation and regular health monitoring. The patient’s home should provide equipped for patient isolation and the patients take all necessary precautions.
