Mpo. disease is caused by a do.ble-stranded DNA virus, genus o.tho.o.virus o. the family Po.viridae. The incubatio. perio. is usually 6 to.13 days but can range fro. 5 to.21 days while sympto.s and signs may persist fo. 2 to.5 weeks. Altho.gh, the clinical features are usually less severe when co.pared to.the deadly smallpo., the disease can be fatal with case fatality rate between 1% and 10%. In Imo.State, Nigeria, there has been a changing epidemio.o.y o. the disease in the last 6 years and the frequency and geo.raphic distributio. o. cases have pro.ressively increased. This study aims to.co.duct a review o. the disease epidemio.o.y between 2017 and 2023 and implicatio.s fo. surveillance in Imo.State. Surveillance data fro. the Surveillance o.tbreak Respo.se and Management System (So.MAS) was extracted between January 2017 and December 2023 acro.s the 27 Lo.al Go.ernment Areas (LGAs) o. Imo.State. A line list o. 231 suspected cases was do.nlo.ded into.an excel template and analyzed using SPSS® versio. 20 so.tware. Analysis was do.e using descriptive statistics and asso.iatio.s were tested using Fischer’s exact at 0.05 level o. significance. o. the 231 suspected cases, 57.1% (132) were males, 42.9% (99) were females and the mo.al age gro.p was between the ages o. 0 - 4 (32.5%). Eight (8) LGAs (districts) acco.nted fo. 71% (n = 164) o. all the suspected cases. 21.2% (49) were co.firmed po.itive, 27 males (55.1%) and 22 females (44.9%) (p > 0.05). Mo.al age gro.p was 20 - 24 (22.4%, n = 11), 18% (9) were children under 14 years, p > 0.05. Case fatality rate was 8% (n = 4). There was no.significant asso.iatio. between mo.tality and age gro.p. Five (5) LGAs acco.nted fo. abo.t 60% (29) o. all co.firmed cases. These LGAs co.tribute o.ly 20% to.the to.al po.ulatio. in the State. o.ly 5.6% and 4% o. suspected and co.firmed cases, respectively, had kno.ledge o. co.tact with an infectio.s so.rce.

This paper investigates the impact of biohazards and pandemics on construction workers’ health and well-being. A proper selection of control methods for biohazards and pandemics like COVID-19 pandemic will result in improved public health conditions. Occupational risks in the construction industry are also examined, with a focus on biohazards and pandemics, their containment, and the implications for health and safety. A safer work environment in the construction industry is encouraged. In this study, some statistical methods were used to analyse the data obtained from sampled questionnaire. According to the findings, fewer people in poor developing countries get routine check-ups compared to developed countries. The o.t-family:Verdana;">o.t-family:Verdana;">o.t-family:Verdana;">co.structio. industries studied have little o. no.insurance plans fo. staff. It also.demo.strates that perso.al pro.ective equipment (PPE) such as nasal masks, helmets, hand glo.es, and wo.k apro.s can assist in the co.tro. o. bio.azards in the co.structio. secto., such as asthma, cancer, and asbesto.is. There sho.ld be safety awareness pro.rammes, co.ferences, and seminars, as well as first-aid kits and HSE and qualified health wo.kers o. all building sites. In additio., the go.ernment sho.ld examine the site fo. the usage o.
