Sumario:COVID-19 started in Wuhan province of china and spread in a faster rate covering all continents in the world. The pandemic has affected the socio-economic, political fabric of all countries, and exacerbated undernutrition and food insecurity problems of Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). COVID-19 has also disrupted the health system, resulted in low level utilization of essential services, such as childhood immunization, labor and childbirth, and treatment for children with serious illness. Unless the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic slows down, Ethiopia and other low income countries are at the verge of losing all the progresses made in health and wellbeing over the last two decades.
