Abstract

Studies have shown that Covid-19 belongs to the class or category
of novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐
CoV‐2) and that it is a group of hazardous and very infectious
viruses and a contagious virus that tends to induce respiratory
symptoms and elevated liver enzymes. These symptoms are
moderated by other variables, including genetic, race, ethnicity, and
socioeconomic. A significant moderator is the inability of any
country to control the spread of this virus. In this study, we
surveyed Nigerians' experiences, who have been quarantined by
the Nigerian government upon their return from the USA. Primary
method of obtaining information through online questionnaire was
adopted to elicit information from the respondents during
“lockdown”. The number of participants was 10. Participants were
of different ethnic, socioeconomic, and educational status. The
results showed that most of the respondents indicated that the
government and the institution's efforts were fairly adequate. The
study recommended better institutional support for persons undergoing quarantine and provision of sound healthcare facility
for persons infected with COVID-19 disease in Nigeria.
