Abstract : In human history several novel communicable viruses have severely impacted global economies. Consistent with the impact on economy, the capacity to earn, food safety and security as well as individual access has been severely limited. The subsequent impact on families and households is considerable. Nutrition is one important mitigator of health outcomes, but it is severely threatened in pandemics. An examination of nutritional impact of a pandemic in a developing country is essential for mapping risks and proposing strategies to mitigate the impact on households.

Keywords : Covid-19 Pandemic, Food Safety, Food Security, Insecurity, Nutritional Impact, Health Outcomes, Mitigation.
