dc.description.abstractThe Covid-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted society around the world and had an impact on many facets of human welfare. This chapter offers a thorough analysis of how Covid-19 has affected people's quality of life in East 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, and disruptions in social interactions by looking at a wide range of scholarly articles, reports, and data sources. 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, technology breakthroughs, and societal resiliency. The chapter'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.
