Compliance to COVID 19 Preventive Measures towards the Environmental Health in Nigeria Universities
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Compliance with COVID 19 preventive measure is a double edge sword cutting through the fabric of the everyday life of the Nigerian citizen and the university environment to be precise. it is considered that the viral respiratory infections spread by direct contacts, such as touching an infected person or the surfaces that the person has either touched, on which large virus containing droplets expired by the person lands and there the virus can remain stable for days. The disease is also believed to be spread across a short distance by air. The clinical manifestation of COVID 19 is a dry cough, fever, and tiredness. Other symptoms which may manifest in patients include headache, aches, pains, nasal congestion, sore throat, conjunctivitis, diarrhea, loss of taste or smell or discoloration of fingers or toes. It is important to note that there is a lot of false knowledge and misconceptions about the disease in Africa and Nigeria. These misconceptions affect the degree of compliance to the stipulated preventive measures and also exact an indirect effect of the disease on our environmental health. Compliance with the preventive measure while aides in mitigating the spread of the virus also affect other aspects of our environmental health and our ecosystem by extension. Some of the preventive measures are constant washing of hands, use of face mask, social distance, and self isolation. Okafor B.
