Since the first case of the Coronavirus was discovered in Lagos State, Nigeria, concerns were raised about the impact of a widespread virus outbreak. These concerns have been cultivated by the weak Nigerian healthcare system. Despite the fact that the virus is not widely known in the nation, its effects on health and wellness are a big cause for concern. This study examined the state of Nigeria’s healthcare system, the general attitude toward the pandemic, and the implications for pandemic containment. In-depth interviews with 45 participants, including key informants who were health workers, were conducted as part of the qualitative method used in this study. The findings of this study found a paucity of medical professionals and materials in Nigerian hospitals and other primary healthcare institutions. It also turned out that some people continue to deny that the virus even exists while ignoring health precautions. This study strongly recommends that social workers participate in community health education initiatives that aim to dispel ingrained cultural and traditional myths about the virus, launch successful grass-roots campaigns to increase public awareness of the devastating Coronavirus pandemic and revitalize cottage hospitals and other primary healthcare facilities, particularly in rural areas.
