Title: Socio-cultural norms, water, hygiene and COVID-19 in Nigeria

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) is essential for slowing down the spread of COVID-19 based on its effectiveness as a barrier to its transmission. For example, frequent and proper hadn washing with soap under running water is one of the most important measures that can be used to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus (SWA, 2020).

To mitigate COVID-19 and retard community spread, a tailored effort to control its mode of transmission from human-to-human and reduce its adverse effects on people’s health and well-being is importnat. However the combination of Nigeria’s limited access to WASH services, weak health systems, the expanding health needs of its growing populations, corruption and ongoing and ongoing conflicts in the North East etc. are a great concern for the country’s emerging zoonoses preparedness and response.
