COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated from Wuhang, China at the end of 2019. In the early stages, the virus infected about 300 people and caused the deaths of six people. Despite early detections and reactions by the Chinese government, the disease spread to the different countries of the world. By June 2021 more than 170 million (170,000,000) people have been infected with the disease with more than three million and sixty thousand (3,600,000) deaths. According to Johns Hopkins University in Nigeria, in June 2021, 167 thousand cases of diseases and more than 2 thousand deaths were registered. Materials and Methods . The study analyses data from open sources such as academic journals, books, newspapers and online sources. Results and Discussion. Findings of the study reveal that while the actions of the Nigerian government have been preventive, they have not curtailed the spread of the virus. Conclusion . The researchers recommend that the Nigerian government intensifies its efforts towards to limit the spread of the virus by effectively implementing lockdowns and bans on public gatherings, improve testing capacities to identify and isolate carriers of the virus.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Актуальность . В исследовании изучаются усилия правительства Нигерии по борьбе с коронавирусной инфекцией. COVID-19 - это инфекционное заболевание, которое появилось в Китае, в городе Ухань, в конце 2019 года. На ранних стадиях вирус заразил около 300 человек и стал причиной смерти шести человек. Несмотря на ранние обнаружения и реакцию китайского правительства, болезнь распространилась по разным странам мира. На июнь 2021 года более ста семидесяти миллионов (170,000,000) человек инфицированы этим заболеванием, более трех миллионов шестисот тысяч (3,600,000) умерли. Согласно данным Университета Джонса Хопкинса в Нигерии в июне 2021 г. зарегистрировано 167 тысяч (167,000) случаев заболеваний и более 2 тысяч (2,000) летальных исходов. Материалы и методы. В исследовании анализируются данные из открытых источников, в частности академических журналов, книг, газет и онлайн-источников. Результаты и обсуждение. Результаты исследования показывают, что, хотя правительство Нигерии предприняли меры профилактики заболеваемости, они не ограничили распространение вируса. Выводы . Исследователи рекомендуют правительству Нигерии активизировать свои усилия по предотвращению распространения вируса путем эффективного введения ограничений и запретов на публичные собрания, улучшения возможностей тестирования для выявления и изоляции носителей вируса.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Coronavirus</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>Emergency Management</kwd><kwd>Nigeria</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>коронавирус</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>экстренные меры</kwd><kwd>Нигерия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Qu W, Rutherford S, Mao A, Chu C.
