Summary Excerpt Details

Prior to the WHO pronouncement of COVID-19 as a global public health challenge and pandemic, many Nigerians regarded the disease as a distant white man’s infirmity that could never spread to their abode. Without recourse to expert advice and recommendations, Nigerians and their government downplayed the emergence of COVID-19 in their territory thereby hesitating the adoption of initial preventive measures which would have saved costs while protecting the citizenry from undue exposure to the virus. With the confirmation of the index COVID-19 case in Lagos, Nigeria on February 20, 2020, other parts of the country including Akwanga Local Government of Nasarawa state in north-central region continued their normal routines and social activities without observing the sketchy preventive measures initially outlined by Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC, 2020). The public opinion within Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa state in central Nigeria was that COVID-19 is a “big man disease” (i.e. disease of the highly influential persons). With the low level of education within this region of Nigeria, their immediate conclusion and misinformation on those vulnerable to the disease were expected.

Furthermore, the prevailing presence of urban slums, dense population, inadequate access to potable water, fragile healthcare system, sharing of sanitation facilities with a high degree of social mixing among the inhabitants of Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa state will make the implementation of hygiene and other public health measures necessary for the curbing of the coronavirus impossible. Also, the spread of misinformation and tales regarding the COVID-19 and promotion of unscientific traditional treatment within the Area further jeopardized the implementation of preventive measures.

Based on this background that this study sort to investigates COVID-19 awareness and compliance with protocol in some selected secondary schools in Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Nigeria.

The aim of the study is to investigates COVID-19 awareness and compliance with protocol in some selected secondary schools in Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study is to know whether secondary school students have knowledge about COVID-19 in Akwanga Local Government Area and whether secondary school students in Akwanga Local Government Area comply with the COVID19 protocol.

Auszug aus dem Buch

1.1 Background to the Study

In order to contain the spread of COVID-19 pandemic which has claimed many lives globally, authority across the globe have adopted strict measures aimed at protecting vulnerable individuals from contagion. These measures include enforcement of social distancing rules, total national lockdown, and ban on international flight, among others. According to recent estimates, complying with mitigation measures can save up to 20 million lives globally, and 38.7 million lives if the measures are adopted early (Walker et al., 2020). Closely related to this estimate is an excerpt of media briefing by WHO Director General on March 16, 2020.

“Social distancing measures can help to reduce transmission and enable health systems to cop. Hand-washing and coughing into your elbow can reduce the risk for yourself and others. But on their own, they are not enough to extinguish this pandemic. It's the combination that makes the difference. Washing your hands will help to reduce your risk of infection. But it's also an act of solidarity because it reduces the risk you will infect others into your community and around the world. Do it for yourself, do it for others”.

Despite the huge success of these measures across many countries, implementing them, and ensuring that people maintain social distance and refrain from unnecessary outdoor activities in authoritarian and liberal societies for weeks result into ultimate human challenge (Rooij et al., 2020). This is consistent with Soper's (1919) editorial review following the 1918 pandemic that killed millions of people worldwide: “It does not lie in human nature for a man who thinks he has only a slight cold to shut himself up in rigid isolation as a means of protecting others on the bare chance that his cold may turn out to be a really dangerous infection” (p. 502).
