This study aims to explore community distributors' adherence to infection prevention control practices for SMC during COVID-19 in Nigeria.
Varying degrees of adherence to the infection control prevention (IPC) guidelines among community distributors (CDs) was observed across both Kano and Sokoto state. It was also found that adherence to IPC practices that require frequent and timed application are generally low. Adequate knowledge and positive perceptions of the IPC measures among CDs and the feasibility of implementation are facilitators to adherence.
