The scale of the COVID-19 pandemic over the time has generated significant impediments for households’ day-to-day life due to the need of getting isolated and carrying out work and education activities remotely. Over the nine months of 2020, at least one household member in 6.8% of households was placed in quarantine. In about 1.3% of households at least one member was infected with COVID-19 during these three quarters of 2020.

The current analytical note presents the results of the module on Influence of COVID-19 Pandemic on Households, carried out under the Households’ Budget Survey (HBS), for the purpose of assessing the main challenges and problems encountered by households during the COVID-19 pandemic.
