ABSTRACT
There had been an urgent call for the collection of standardized data describing clinical presentations, severity, outcomes, and epidemiology of COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO). These data were expected to compliment the national pandemic data collated from countries by the World Health Organization (WHO). Nigeria, among other countries, is not an exception. This survey collected data on the respondent's knowledge on COVID-19, their attitude and practices towards the control of the spread of COVID-19 amongst Nigerians. The data were collected through an online survey. There were 1320 respondents from Nigeria that answered the survey questions. The survey was conducted between March 31 and April 28, 2020 which were within the lockdown period in the country. These data could serve as auxiliary information and/or research data for other researchers in Nigeria. It could also serve as guide or reference data to other researchers outside Nigeria who may be interested in carrying out similar research in another country.
ABSTRACT
The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic that is ravaging Nigeria and the world at large. This data article provides a dataset of daily updates of COVID-19 as reported online by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) from February 27, 2020 to September 29, 2020. The data were obtained through web scraping from different sources and it includes some economic variables such as the Nigeria budget for each state in 2020, population estimate, healthcare facilities, and the COVID-19 laboratories in Nigeria. The dataset has been processed using the standard of the FAIR data principle which encourages its findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability and will be relevant to researchers in different fields such as Data Science, Epidemiology, Earth Modelling, and Health Informatics.
