The diets of patients who fell ill with Covid-19 did not differ in terms of the structure of consumption of the main nutrients and energy. The decrease in the content of actinobacteria is a consequence of the transferred infection and treatment with antibacterial drugs. The detected changes indicate intestinal dysbiosis after the disease and require nutritional correction. Microelement analysis of hair composition revealed insufficient supply of zinc. Deficiency of calcium content in hair was also detected. The content of iron and selenium was also insufficient. The vast majority of those examined (93.5%) had an insufficient content of copper, 90% had a reduced content of manganese and chromium, resp.
