The global spread of the novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has necessitated the implementation of non-pharmaceutical public health measures globally, including school closure. After five months of school closures, the Nigerian government is planning towards the suspension of school lockdown. However, in a bid to ensure that schoolchildren are academically equipped, and measures such as adequate ventilation, handwashing, social distancing, and increased infrastructure need to be implemented to ensure that school reopening does not result to a spike in COVID-19 cases and fatalities in Nigeria.
新型冠状病毒病(COVID-19)在全球的传播使得全球范围内都有必要实施非药物公共卫生措施,包括关闭学校。在学校关闭五个月后,尼日利亚政府正计划暂停学校封锁。然而,为确保学童在学业上有所准备,还需要实施诸如充分通风、洗手、保持社交距离以及增加基础设施等措施,以确保学校重新开学不会导致尼日利亚的COVID-19病例和死亡人数激增。
