A5. #COVID19 = lost income for many which makes difficult to purchase food, esp. nutritious food. Will ‘cope’ by purchasing cheapest calories they can find. They will stop being hungry but could still be malnourished. #NutritionCantWait #COVID19Nutrition (1/3)
A5. Mothers may not have support to provide care for their babies, breastfeed them, etc. due to increased burden of care, stress and reduced healthy systems services. #MalnutritionCrisis underlies food crisis. (2/3) #NutritionCantWait #COVID19Nutrition @1000Days
