He should take food rich in vitamin C to boast immunity and recovery from COVID. Oranges, pineapple, apples, papaya, lemon etc. Also high protein diet is recommended to assist with recovery. Special care should be taken to keep blood sugars under control because covid infection and medicines used to treat it can raise sugar levels
