Welcome to the knowledge hub. This section is designed for adults recovering from COVID-19 infection and adults caring for them.

The Hub is designed to empower you; it is a one-stop-shop for all your information needs. Here you can find information about how your diet may influence your recovery, how you can manage symptoms, as well as useful resources. We also advise you about how to find trustworthy dietary information and how to find a registered nutrition expert. See the link below for five talks by top nutrition experts discussing key dietary topics.

Making changes to your diet is not a substitute for the COVID-19 vaccine, or for professional advice and treatment. 

Although the hub provides information based on research, it does not replace personalised advice from a dietitian or other registered nutrition expert.
