BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Coronavirus pandemic 2019 (COVID-19) is the most recent infectious illness to spread fast over the world (Van Doremalen, 2020), to the point of causing a devastating global pandemic [McDowel, 2020]. COVID-19 is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that first appeared in Wuhan, China [WHO, 2020]. The epidemic of coronavirus illness (COVID-19) has been designated a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), and the virus has afflicted numerous nations, including Nigeria.
Coronaviruses (COVID-19) are positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses with diameters ranging from 60 to 140 nm with spike-like projections on their surfaces, giving them a crown-like appearance. Their virus is RNA genomic and ranges in length from 26 to 32 kilobases. COVID-19 is a member of the Nidovirales order, which includes the families Roniviridae, Arteriviridae, and Coronaviridae. The Coronviridae family is split into two subfamilies: Torovirinae and Coronavirinae. Coronavirinae is further subdivided into alpha, beta, gamma, and delta viruses. The categorization of these viral subtypes is accounted for by phylogenetic grouping. It is possible to isolate it from many animal species. The first instance of coronavirus was reported in 1960, and a Canadian research in 2001 identified roughly 500 people as having a Flu-like system, with 17 to 18 cases being verified as being infected with Coronavirus by polymerase chain reaction. Livestock, birds, and animals such as bats, camels, masked palm civets, dogs, mice, and cats are among them. In 2003, various reports were published about the spread of Coronavirus in many countries, including Hong Kong, the United States of America, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan, and there were several cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by Coronavirus, with over 1000 patients dying as a result.
A pandemic Illigworth & Parmet (2015) is defined as a disease epidemic that spreads across many nations or continents. It kills more people and affects more people than an epidemic, which the World Health Organization (WHO) proclaimed to be a pandemic when it became obvious that the infection was severe and spreading rapidly across a large territory.The global spread of pandemic Covid-19 has disrupted the world's educational, political, social, economic, religious, and financial systems. The world's most powerful economies, including the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and many more, are on the edge of collapse. Furthermore, stock markets throughout the world have been hammered, and oil prices have plummeted. In only one week, 3.3 million Americans claimed for unemployment benefits, while another 6.6 million began looking for work. Furthermore, many economic and financial specialists have warned about the deterioration of the world economic and financial system.
The outbreak of this virus in Nigeria imposed various limits on all sectors of activities, as it was designated by the World Health Organization as communicable and lethal.
To limit and manage the spread of the virus in Nigeria, the federal government enforced the use of face masks, social distance, and the use of sanitizers while washing hands and cleaning surfaces. These safety precautions apply to all sectors, including academic institutions. However, prior to school resumption, the Nigerian governments asked all schools to ensure appropriate compliance with Covid-19 safety measures. As a result, the extent to which secondary schools in Asaba Delta State, Nigeria, comply with those statutory safety precautions is unknown, as it is in other regions of Nigeria. As a result of this ambiguity, this study was born.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Coronavirus disease spreads primarily through contact with an infected person when they cough or sneeze. It also spreads when a person touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth.
Covid-19 has been known to be a very dreadful and deadly disease that has the ability to destroy human lives including children, adolescent, youths and adults across the world at large.
The Nigerian Government from the very first outbreak of this virus in Nigeria necessitated the application of prevention measures among secondary schools across the country. These stated measures according to the World Health Organization which is in line with that of Nigerian government includes; constant use of face mask, constant washing of hands which schools are to provide water and soup at strategic areas in the school premises before the entrance of the students into the school, use of hand sanitizers, maintaining social distancing by arranging the classroom to comply to this and avoid touching of surfaces. However most secondary schools in Nigeria are over crowded and the rate of law avoidance and neglects among adolescents (secondary School students) is overwhelming. According to Carlis (2003) students in Secondary level are most adolescents who delights in the execution of their over will and are executors and emulators of peer group. Hence this study is focused on Investigating the level secondary schools comply to the covid-19 safety measures.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The basic or most essential grail of this study is to Investigate the Covid-19 Safety Compliance Level in Secondary Schools. Other specific objectives includes;
- To identify if Secondary school students in Asaba, Delta state Nigeria complies with the Covid-19 safety prevention measure.
- To assess the extent to which the students abide by the covid-19 preventive measures
- To assess the extent to which the staff and management of secondary schools in Asaba adhere to the covid-19 preventive measures
- To examine the level at which government monitory team visits secondary schools in Asaba to ensure complete and constant compliance of the covid-19 preventive measure by the schools.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
1. Does secondary school students in Asaba, Delta state Nigeria complies with the Covid-19 safety prevention measure?
2. To what extent do students adhere the prevention measures?
3. To what extent do staff adhere the prevention measures?
4. How frequent does government monitory team visits secondary schools in Asaba to ensure complete and constant compliance of the covid-19 preventive measure by the schools?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will be of unspeakable importance to the Federal and state Government as it will expose the situation of compliance by secondary school students in Asaba Delta State, and the gaps the enforcement agencies creates which stipulate irregular adherence to covid 19 rules and restrictions. And the recommendations will make a great impact on how to tighten the restrictions. The study however will also help school stake holders on what best way to ensure the safety of the students. This study will serve as a reference material to students, researchers and scholars who may want to carry out further research on this topic or related domain in the future..
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study- the investigation of Covid-19 Safety Compliance Level in Secondary Schools covers only selected secondary schools in Asaba Metropolis, Delta State Nigeria.
