Abstract

The situation of COVID-19 which continues to increase has aroused fears for health crisis. Various prevention of thespreading of this virus can be managed with the help of a strong immune system. One way tomaintain and improve our immune system is by paying attention to the quality of nutritional intake that we consumed, as well as diet. In the Qur'an, Muslims are required to eat halal andthoyyib food. In order to do these obligations, Muslims are encouraged to consume nutritious food so as to do their daily activities well, such as praying. This study is a descriptive study with a cross sectional study. The number of samples in this study is 145 respondents. The sample is determined with a purposive sampling technique and calculated with the Slovin formula, with anerror tolerance of 5% for the '2019 students' who are active in the Faculty of Medicine, YarsiUniversity. The data are analyzed univariately in order to describe the data set in the form offrequency and type of food. The results of this study show that during the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the '2019 students' of the Yarsi University Faculty of Medicine have irregular nutritionalintake patterns (as many as 116 students - 80%) and poor nutritional quality (with an average of 62 students - 77.25%). This is not in accordance with what is recommended in the Qur'an andhadith. Further research is still necessary to explore the quantity of the students' nutritional intake during the COVID-19 pandemic, the changes in their eating behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, the family food consumption patterns, etc.
