“For people of predominantly professional class, with better housing conditions than most others, only 36 per cent indicated they had a spare room in their homes to dedicate to self-isolation.”
With housing taking a focal point in response to COVID-19 pandemic, the Centre for Housing and Sustainable Development , University of Lagos has advised the Federal Government to ensure investment in short-term housing.
The survey was conducted through on-line platform in April with 453 respondents providing information on their lived experiences and coping strategies. The survey results highlighted some opportunities, and revealed key areas of concern. The centre asked state governments to devolve care to the local governments, ensure community preparedness training and mobilization, community based health officers and their care, PPE distribution centres, testing centres, provide mobile public service announcements and identification of existing facilities that could be converted to neighbourhood based self-isolation centres.
