It is however unclear if Omicron is more transmissible than other
variations, including Delta. The number of persons testing positive for
this new variant is alarming and it has triggered reactions from all
over the world, with countries imposing travel bans, restricting
movements and enacting strict quarantine laws. Precautionary steps are
required during the early stages of the variant to guard against
potential harm and to limit transmission[2]. As a result, the Nigerian
government has implemented some containment methods like compulsory
vaccination before travel, testing and quarantine of international
visitors and the limitation of travel. This has interfered with people's
everyday lives and resulted in serious economic loss and social
disturbance (World Health Organization 2021).
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Although
Omicron is more transmissible than other variations, including Delta.
The number of persons testing positive for this new variant in Nigeria
is alarming and it has triggered reactions from all over the world, with
countries imposing travel bans, restricting movements and enacting
strict quarantine laws[3].
Consequently, the case in Nigerian is
being triggered by poor level of awareness about the infectious illness,
which has caused people to behave in ways that may avoid infection[7].
As a result, persons may need to be informed about the possible hazards
of this new variant in order to take the necessary precautions. Given
the importance of understanding of preventive measures in preventing the
spread of COVID-19 and its variants, it is critical to do study on
people's health knowledge during this time[3].
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
