背景：2019年冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)大流行震惊世界，甚至让高收入国家的卫生系统不堪重负。不出所料，这种情况已经分别引起了公众和政府的社会和医疗反应。尼日利亚于2020年2月27日从意大利记录了一例输入性病例。因此，本文评估了尼日利亚在指示病例后的前100天内对新冠肺炎的早期社会医学反应。论文采用分析的方法，整理了各种媒体报道和官方来源的数据。研究发现：新冠肺炎在尼日利亚的发病率稳步增长，从输入性病例和精英模式转向社区传播。病死率为2.8%。全国新冠肺炎传播高峰(占总病例的52%)在短时间内解除封锁。本文提出了一个简明的应对框架，以强调对大流行的一些具体的多部门应对措施。社会和医疗的结合在很大程度上帮助尼日利亚遏制了病毒的传播。结论：在尼日利亚，压倒性的新冠肺炎的潜力仍然迫在眉睫，因为该国正试图匆忙开放经济，这可能会牺牲公共卫生方面的成果，以换取暂时的经济利益。(C)2020年提交人(S)。爱思唯尔有限公司代表国际传染病学会出版。这是CC BY-NC-ND License(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-ncnd/4.0/).下的一篇开放获取文章
Background: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic shocked the world, overwhelming the health systems of even high-income countries. Predictably, the situation has elicited social and medical responses from the public and governments, respectively. Nigeria recorded an imported case from Italy on February 27, 2020. Hence, this paper assesses the early socio-medical response to COVID-19 in Nigeria in the first 100 days after the index case. The paper employs analytical methods and collates data from various media reports and official sources.Findings: The incidence of COVID-19 grew steadily in Nigeria, moving from an imported case and elitist pattern to community transmission. The case fatality stood at 2.8%. The country recorded an upsurge (52% of total cases) in the transmission of COVID-19 during the short period the lockdown was relaxed. This paper presents a concise response framework to highlight some specific multisectoral responses to the pandemic. A combination of social and medical responses to a large extent helped Nigeria curtail the spread of the virus.Conclusion: The potential of overwhelming COVID-19 is still imminent in Nigeria as the country is attempting to hurriedly open the economy, which could sacrifice public health gains for temporary economic gains.
