Abstract
: In coping with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, cities adopted social isolation
and lockdown measures; however, little is known about the impacts of these restrictions on household food
security.This study provides a timely assessment of household food insecurity (HFI) in the Chinese city
of Wuhan during the COVID-19 epidemic period and also investigates its determinant factors. We collected valid data on food insecurity from 653 households in Wuhan via an online questionnaire
in March 2020. The Household Food Insecurity Access Scale Score (HFIASS) was used to measure HFI, and
a multiple linear regression model was used to determine the HFIASS.
