Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious illness caused by a new coronavirus leading to fever, tiredness, and respiratory symptoms such as dry cough and difficulty in breathing. The case presentations could be mild, moderate, or severe. Severe cases can ultimately lead to pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and death. The World Health Organization (WHO) affirms that the virus spreads from person to person through droplets and contact means. In a bid to stop the spread and mitigate the effect of the pandemic, lockdown or social distancing recommendation has been instituted by most of the affected countries in the world, including Nigeria. This lockdown has therefore led to a sweeping interruption of the daily life pattern of people and communities across the globe";impacting their health and wellbeing particularly on mental health, fitness, and occupational health.
