The pandemic triggered by SARS-CoV-2 continuous to pose a global health threat, with cases of new infections and deaths still occurring despite increasing vaccination efforts. As in other regions of the world, the pandemic has led to unprecedented stretch of health and economic systems in countries in Africa. Nigeria, the most populous African country, has not been spared as the number of new infections continues to teeter amid a high level of vaccination hesitancy. Here, we provided a brief look at the background and biology of the virus. We also highlighted the epidemiology of the virus in Nigeria, as well as the challenges and opportunities it presents. Our review will add to the knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 and the situation of the pandemic in Nigeria, and provide a better response to the pandemic and future pandemics.
由 SARS-CoV-2 引发的大流行持续对全球健康构成威胁，尽管疫苗接种工作不断增加，但新感染和死亡的病例仍在发生。与世界其他地区一样，这场大流行导致非洲国家的卫生和经济系统承受了前所未有的压力。尼日利亚是非洲人口最多的国家，也未能幸免，新感染人数持续波动，疫苗接种犹豫不决的程度很高。在这里，我们简要介绍了该病毒的背景和生物学特性。我们还强调了该病毒在尼日利亚的流行病学情况，以及它带来的挑战和机遇。我们的综述将增加对 SARS-CoV-2 的了解和尼日利亚大流行的情况，并为应对大流行和未来的大流行提供更好的对策。
