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.
