The impact of COVID-19 on children is even worse for the vulnerable such as children with disabilities, children from poor households and migrant children. The unprecedented socio-economic crisis that has been caused by COVID-19 has rapidly exacerbated some of the biggest threats to child survival and well-being such as hunger, reduced access to health, education, social, and child protection services. Zambia recorded its first COVID-19 case on March 18th 2020, and Government responded by announcing strict measures aimed at combating COVID-19. These were both health and behavioural in nature and included: wearing of face masks, sanitizing hands regularly, disinfecting surfaces, discouraging the public from visiting crowded places, observing physical distance of about 1-2 meters, postponing social events and encouraging the public to work from home, among others. In more stringent measures, schools, universities, restaurants, gymnasiums, churches, casinos and other social spaces closed as control measures were heightened by the Government. These measures resulted in disruption of the school calendar through the closure of schools which affected children socially and reduced access and demand for health care services.
