dc.description.abstractSince the outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of 2019, which was first reported in China in December 2019 (NBS, 2020), the pandemic has brought both social and economic impacts to global communities, although to varying degrees. Following its onset, the pandemic was forecasted to bring food crises, and sub-Saharan Africa was predicted to experience more severe consequences in this regard (Carreras, Saha and Thompson, 2020a). However, the observed effects of the pandemic, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, have been exacerbated by other tensions, such as natural calamities and conflicts (Carreras, Saha and Thompson, 2020b). Since the onset of the pandemic, global communities have responded in various ways by taking different measures to fight the pandemic and its effects (World Bank, 2020). In Tanzania, the first case was recorded on 16 March 2020 (Boniface and Magomba, 2020a; Mdoe, Mlay and Boniface, 2020; NBS, 2020). To contain the spread of the virus, on 17 March 2020, the Prime Minister announced the closure of all education institutions, the suspension of public gatherings, sports and games events, as well as international passenger flights, and mandatory quarantine for passengers coming to Tanzania were introduced. The government also established special isolation camps for people with, or suspected of having, COVID-19, and enforced World Health Organization (WHO) health standards by encouraging hand washing and wearing of face masks (Boniface and Isinika 2021; Boniface and Magomba, 2020a; Mdoe, Mlay and Boniface, 2020; World Bank, 2020).en_US
