Those malnourished are at a high risk of coronavirus because of the weak immune system in their bodies, according to Stella Dawa, a nutritionist of Solidarity Rimenze.
She told Radio Anisa that malnutrition cases in South Sudan are many and if at all coronavirus spread countrywide many people will be at risk especially children.
Dawa urges women of South Sudan to change their style of overcooking food losing all the nutrients needed.
She encouraged pregnant women not to overcook their food so that the unborn children may not fall victims.
The nutritionist of Solidarity Rimenze advised lactating mothers to feed their kids with food enriched with nutrients.
Dawa appealed to everyone to eat a proper balanced diet in order to boost their immune system to fight corona virus.
Malnutrition is lack of proper nutrients in the body, it occurs due to poor diet and digestive conditions.
