dc.description.abstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted society around the world and had an impact on many facets of human welfare. This essay offers a thorough analysis of how COVID-19 has affected people's quality of life, particularly in Africa. The study highlights the socio-economic, health, and psychological effects of the pandemic in the area, such as elevated mortality rates, difficulties with mental health, a downturn in the economy, disruption of the supply chain, and disruptions in social interactions, by looking at a wide range of scholarly articles, reports, and data sources from the PUBMed database. It also looks at regional responses, difficulties encountered, and viable solutions to lessen the consequences and improve people's well-being. It also considers prospective benefits, including enhanced cleanliness standards, technological breakthroughs, and societal resilience. The review's findings advance knowledge of the multiple effects of COVID-19 on human wellbeing and offer policymakers, researchers, and practitioners' useful information for formulating plans to lessen the adverse effects and advance the general welfare of people and communities in the post-pandemic era.
