Abstract: Key Facts • There was no significant change in per capita per day income from March 2020 (considered pre-COVID) to July 2020 for both rural and urban households. • Reasons for lack of observed impact could include economic disruptions prior to and unrelated to the pandemic and the fact that first lockdowns happened in March. • More than half of households reported reduced consumption of food in August-October 2020 compared to a year previous and reported also that the quality of their diets had worsened.
