Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), many countries have put in place isolation and/or quarantine measures to reduce transmission risks and curb the spread of the virus. Without access to communities, traditional modalities to collect information and monitor the food security and basic needs of affected populations cannot be relied upon; in addition, face-to-face surveys could expose enumerators to further risk of contagion. Nonetheless, the same information is needed, including the ability to answer key questions on the impacts of the outbreak on food security and livelihoods, health, access to services, markets and supply chains, as well as people’s challenges and needs, among others.
