Much remains to be known about the COVID-19 pandemic, the influence of this pandemic on nutrition and dietary intake has already gone beyond the individual and the community to reach national and global levels. A particular feature of this pandemic is highlighting the interdependence of these various levels, whereby the health of the individual became a direct function of his own awareness and choices, the unity of the community, the preparedness of the government, and ultimately the global engagement vis a vis this threat.
