However, some simple issues like exercise (1) and nutrition support in COVID-19 patients are yet to be discussed. It has been revealed that malnutrition is associated with the poor prognosis of critically ill patients (2). According to the early evidence from China (3), the prevalence of malnutrition in COVID-19 patients was 52.7%, accounting for more than half of the patients. Also, the high prevalence of malnutrition among COVID-19 patients supports the idea that malnutrition is a frequent problem among them and can be considered a prognostic factor (4,5).
